California’s Stagecoach Festival was already considered to have a bigger audience than its sister festival Coachella last spring. That could be the case again in 2025, as the annual desert event has announced a lineup that includes some of the biggest names in mainstream country music, as well as a number of notable figures from just outside the country’s borders.

Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll and Luke Combs are the headliners of the three-day festival, which will take place from April 25 to 27 in Indio, California. Pop star Lana Del Rey, the rebellious Sturgill Simpson and the current hit Shaboozey will also play supporting roles. The festival is likely to attract a lot of interest beyond the average country music fan.

Bryan certainly counts as a major addition to Stagecoach, as one of the most popular artists in any genre in recent years, having played stadiums and arenas alike, and only occasionally dabbling in the country festival circuit. It may be one of his few live performances in 2025, as the artist tweeted: "Wasn't planning on playing next year but this was confirmed a long time ago. SO STOKED AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US STAGECOACH."
