18 Types of Guys You Meet at a Country Music Concert
You'd have to live under a rock to not know what sweeps into California's Coachella Valley for two music-filled weekends in April. But do you know about the other music festival that takes place in Palm Desert? For music fans who wear boots instead of Birkenstocks and cowboy hats instead of flower crowns, Stagecoach Music Festival (April 28-30) is much more your scene. And if you're looking for love (or just a festival fling) at the country music fest, I'm here to help you out with a breakdown of the types of guys you'll meet there — or at any country concert, really. Here's what to look out for — the good, the bad, and the WTF.
The Legitimate, "Fresh Off the Farm" Cowboy
One look at this guy and his well-worn boots tells you this ain't his first rodeo . . . literally.
The Beach Bodybuilder
Flip-flops? Check. Board shorts? Check. Ripped body? Check.
The Coachella Straggler
Coachella was last week.
The Patriotic Bro
The more red, white, and blue, the better. And you can bet your star-spangled banner he'll be drinking a Bud Light.
Patriotic bro: Exhibit B.
The Speedo-Wearing Hot Shot
We get it — you have a nice body. Now put some pants on.
OK, fine, keep your pants off.
The Frat Guy
Sorry, dude, but you're not at a football game; leave the body paint at home.
The Lumbersexual
Look for the beard and suspenders.
The Instagram-Ready Model
He looks so put together, you're pretty sure he was hired by American Apparel.
The Guy Who Might Be a Serial Killer
I'm scared.
The Guy Who Literally Leaves You Speechless
At first you're all, "Ew." And then you're like, "On second thought . . ."
The Guy Who Thinks He's Hot Enough to Pull Off Overalls
Spoiler alert: he's not.
The Two-Stepper
He spends the entire festival on the dance floor — and if he's good, it's pretty hot, we're not gonna lie.
The Guy in the Big-Ass Hat
Look at me, look at me.
The Creepster
Save the creepy costumes for Halloween, and even then, don't expect it to win over the ladies.
The Superhot Friends Who Everyone Asks to Take Photos Of
There's always a group of guys who pull off their sexy cowboy look so well they show up in everyone's Instagram pics. #saveahorserideacowboy
The Southern Boys
Baseball caps and camo tanks are a given. Pickup line to use: is that a rifle in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
The Serious Music Fan
He actually cares about the music more than hooking up or having the most outlandish outfit — crazy, huh? You can find him in the tiny tents listening to the up-and-coming bands or pushing his way to the front of the crowds to hear his favorite song.
The Celebrity
There's always at least one (hey, this isn't Coachella).
