Headliners and Highlights: Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen Take the Stage
The 2024 Stagecoach Festival, known for its grand showcase of country music, sees Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen as its main attractions. Lambert, a seasoned performer at Stagecoach, brings her iconic blend of heartfelt ballads and bouncy anthems, resonating with long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Their performances underscore the festival’s reputation as a premier venue for top-tier country music, drawing tens of thousands of fans from across the nation.
Genre-Bending Performances: Post Malone’s Surprising Set
Among the most anticipated performances this year is Post Malone, whose involvement in a country music festival might initially seem out of character. However, his set at Stagecoach 2024 proves to be a highlight, featuring country covers that showcase his versatility and deep respect for the genre. Special appearances by artists like Dwight Yoakam and Brad Paisley during his set not only elevate the performance but also bridge the gap between traditional country music and Malone’s typically genre-defying style. This melding of musical worlds speaks to the evolving landscape of country music, where boundaries are increasingly blurred.
Special Appearances and Collaborations
Stagecoach 2024 is rife with unexpected moments and collaborations. Lana Del Rey, fresh from her Coachella performances, makes an unannounced appearance, adding a touch of pop glamour to the country festival. Singing ‘Unchained Melody’ with Paul Cauthen, Del Rey captivates the audience, leaving fans both surprised and delighted. Such collaborations, while surprising, are a testament to the inclusive spirit of Stagecoach, where music across all genres is celebrated and embraced.
The Festival Atmosphere: More Than Just Music
Aside from the stellar lineup and surprise performances, Stagecoach 2024 excels in creating an immersive festival experience. From the rustic decor that captures the essence of the wild west to the array of food and merchandise vendors that cater to every taste, the festival atmosphere is an integral part of the experience. Attendees not only come for the music but for the community and culture that Stagecoach fosters, making it a highlight of the country music calendar.
