Stagecoach 2027: Dates, Lineup and Where to Stay in Palm Springs

Stagecoach 2027 runs Friday, April 23 through Sunday, April 25, 2027, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, with Riley Green, Zach Top and Garth Brooks headlining. Passes are on sale now through the festival's official site. Indio is about 25 miles from Palm Springs, so plenty of fans base the weekend in town and book a few Palm Springs suites around one pool, or take over the whole hotel for the crew.

When and where is Stagecoach 2027?

Stagecoach is the country music festival on the same polo grounds as Coachella, and it lands the weekend after Coachella wraps. Here are the basics for 2027:

• Dates: Friday, April 23 to Sunday, April 25, 2027.

• Venue: Empire Polo Club, Indio, at the east end of the Coachella Valley.

• Passes: on sale now through the official Stagecoach site, which also offers a payment plan.

• Camping: the festival's onsite campground is called The Resort.

• Hotel packages: the official site sells hotel packages, and you can add a shuttle pass.

Who is headlining Stagecoach 2027?

Riley Green, Zach Top and Garth Brooks top the 2027 bill, with Journey among the names announced on the undercard. Stagecoach has a habit of mixing current country with classic rock and a few left-field picks, so read the full lineup on the official site before you decide which day to arrive early. Set times usually come out closer to the festival.

Where to stay for Stagecoach: Indio or Palm Springs?

The closer you sleep to the polo grounds, the shorter the drive. That's the whole case for Indio. The case for Palm Springs is everything else: a real downtown for dinner on Thursday, a pool to come back to, and an airport minutes from the hotel.

Here's how most groups decide:

• Camping at The Resort: you're on site and never sit in traffic, but you trade showers and air conditioning for convenience.

• Near the venue: shorter rides, fewer dinner options, and you'll still drive somewhere for food.

• Palm Springs: about 35 to 40 minutes to Indio on I-10 without traffic, plan for an hour or more on festival days. You get quiet nights, real restaurants and a pool for the morning after.

Our Palm Springs to Coachella commute guide covers the route, parking and rideshare in detail, and it works the same for Stagecoach since it's the same venue.

A Stagecoach base camp at The Muse

The Muse is an adults-only boutique hotel with nine suites around one courtyard pool. After 10 hours in the sun, that matters more than you'd think. The six-person hot tub, the outdoor fireplace and the pergola swings make a pretty good after-party for tired boots.

• For a crew of four: the Kate Suite has two queens. The Duo Suite (Edie and Bowie booked together) gives you two bedrooms and sleeps up to five with an optional rollaway.

• For couples: Brigitte, Audrey, Marilyn and Taylor are king suites with private fenced yards and full kitchens, so the morning-after coffee happens outside.

• For the whole group: a full hotel buyout gives you all nine suites and nine bathrooms for up to 22 overnight guests, and the pool is private to your group.

Grab-and-go breakfast from Aspen Mills, parking and Wi-Fi are included. Add Stock the Fridge so the electrolytes and the beer are cold when you land.

How to plan a Stagecoach weekend from Palm Springs

• Thursday: fly into Palm Springs or drive in, check in, and do dinner downtown before the festival crowds peak.

• Friday to Sunday mornings: pool, breakfast from Aspen Mills, and a slow start. Book Glam Squad Services if the group wants hair done before the drive.

• Afternoons: head to Indio. Pick one driver, prebook a car service, or use the official shuttle if your package includes it. Our group transportation guide compares the options.

• Late night: the drive home after the headliner is the slowest part of the day. Plan for it.

• Monday: hot tub, one more swim, and a long brunch before the drive home.

What to pack for Stagecoach

Western wear is the dress code nobody announces. Boots beat sandals on a dusty polo field, and a wide-brimmed hat does double duty as shade. Late April afternoons in the desert are hot, and the grounds don't offer much cover, so bring sunscreen, a refillable bottle and a layer for after dark when it cools off.
