Hey y'all, listen up: Stagecoach [1] is the other — and for country fans, ultimate — music festival to take place in Indio, CA, and it's coming this weekend, just after Coachella. (Check out photos from last year's Stagecoach here [2].) The 2015 lineup features badass country couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert [3] as headliners Saturday and Sunday, respectively; a throwback to 2012 when they also had back-to-back performances at the desert fest. Country dreamboat — who has aged like a fine wine — Tim McGraw [4] kicks off the weekend as Friday's headliner. Other performers include Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen, Kip Moore, The Band Perry, Sara Evans, and Justin Moore, along with a plethora of other legends (including ZZ Top, Merle Haggard, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers of "Bad to the Bone" fame) and breakout stars like Maddie & Tae [5].
True Detective [6] fans might recognize The Handsome Family, who sings the show's theme song "Far From Any Road" and will be performing Friday, and if you love Nashville [7], get excited: some of the cast including Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, and Chris Carmack will be on stage Saturday. John Moreland, who has had several of his songs on Sons of Anarchy [8], will also be there.
To get in the spirit of the festival and prep for the performances, I've created a Spotify playlist [9] featuring all the performers. There are some recognizable hits and new songs from up-and-comers. You might even find a new favorite song! Download the free Spotify [10] software or app then listen to the playlist below.
