Stagecoach 2024: What you need to know before heading out to the 3-day country festival

Adding to the festival's allure is the husband-and-wife duo, the War and Treaty, Grammy nominated for their soulful blend of folk, country and blues. Fans can expect a double dose as they grace the Mane Stage at 3:20 p.m. on Sunday, April 28, followed by a special performance at the Bud Light Backyard stage at 6:10 p.m.

Expansion and moves

After experiencing a complete overhaul of stages and layout last year, fans encountered unforeseen challenges as areas designated for blankets and chairs encroached upon traditional walkways. Acknowledging these concerns, the festival organizers are reverting to the familiar layout that fans have come to anticipate, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all.

This year, the cherished Nikki Lane Stage Stop Marketplace bids farewell to the Stagecoach grounds. Established in 2018, the marketplace was a treasure trove of vintage discoveries and country-inspired apparel from small vendors nationwide. Notably, the marketplace also housed Lane's curated Horseshoe Stage, where unexpected surprise guests such as Lana Del Rey would perform alongside Lane.

Activations and activities

Even though Lane's Stage Stop Marketplace is out of business this year, the festival will be providing a flea market of the same style where fans can walk through a line of vendors locations southeast of the Beer Barn near the Compton Cowboys. The market will have everything from boots to wallet buckles and more.

The Compton Cowboys, a group of friends who use horseback riding to create a safe space for inner-city youth, will be back at Stagecoach with horse demonstrations by the Beer Barn.

Guy Fieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse will also be back, deemed a fan favorite attraction. The smokehouse includes barbecue pitmasters from across the country. Of course, he'll have his usual cooking demonstrations with free samples. He'll be joined by Jelly Roll, Clint Black, Diplo, Hardy and Bailey Zimmerman.

The Shein Saloon will be in full swing once again and fans can giddy up with free Western fit essential accessories like cowboy hats and glittered fanny packs. The saloon will also have photo opps with a mirrored bull and even time for cowboy karaoke throughout the day.

And if children are coming to the festival, bring their little boots by the Half-Pint Hootenanny for an air-conditioned space featuring games like an air hockey table, giant jenga and bowling, along with arts and crafts.
