Giddy up! The lineup for the Stagecoach country music festival is here.

Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen will headline the festival on April 26-28 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

This will be the third time Church and Lambert have headlined Stagecoach. Church performed in 2016 and 2014, and he was also announced as the headliner of the 2020 festival, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lambert headlined in 2015 and 2012, and also performed in 2007 and 2009.

“I can’t wait to get back to the desert to play Stagecoach in 2024. It’s going to be one hell of a party,” Church said in a provided statement.

In the same Goldenvoice press release, Lambert stated “There is something so special about playing music when the sun goes down in the middle of the desert. The fans, the setup, the location — there really is no other festival like it. My band and I have had the chance to experience the magic that is Stagecoach a few times now, and we can't wait to be back in 2024!”

Wallen is currently one of country music's most prominent stars, but the singer has endured controversy after he was caught on camera in 2021 outside a home in Nashville yelling profanities and a racial slur. He apologized at the time, but was suspended indefinitely from his label, and his music was pulled by radio stations and streaming services.

Wallen, who competed on NBC's "The Voice" in 2014, has since gone on to have eight songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 100.

“Stagecoach is such a legendary festival, and I am honored to be headlining the final night,” Wallen said in his provded statement. “I have so many friends who never miss it and I know this will be a monumental weekend for all of us. Can’t wait to see everybody there.”

Other highlights of the lineup are singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam, rapper and singer-songwriter Post Malone (who will perform a set of country music covers), R&B singer Leon Bridges, beloved rock 'n' roll band The Beach Boys and country and soul duo The War and Treaty. Elle King, who appeared on the Mane Stage in 2023, will also perform.

An additional highlight is Willie Nelson & Family. Nelson celebrated his 90th birthday with a festival at the Hollywood Bowl last year, which took place the same weekend as Stagecoach and featured many of the same performers.

Late night programming in the Palomino tent will feature the Canadian rock band Nickelback, the return of DJ and producer Diplo and rapper Wiz Khalifa.

The 2023 Stagecoach festival featured headliners Luke BryanKane Brown and Chris Stapleton, along with performers from all genres, such as Bryan AdamsBrooks & DunnMelissa EtheridgeMorgan WadeTrixie Mattel and ZZ Top.

Brown made history in 2023 as the first person of color to ever headline Stagecoach. Brooks & Dunn's performance was the iconic duo's first at the festival in 13 years. And Stapleton closed out the festival, holding onto the crowd that braved triple-digits throughout the weekend, with a more stripped down offering of rock-meets-country.
