The Indio Takeover is finally here and it is time for the CoJo Nation to stand up!
The wait is over and the official 2026 Stagecoach lineup is officially out. If you love real country music and classic hits, you need to see this right now. The biggest party in the desert is happening April 24 to 26 and you do not want to be the only one missing out.
The biggest news this year is our very own Cody Johnson. He is a true Texas rodeo star who plays country music the right way. Cody used to play on the smaller stages at Stagecoach, but now he has earned his spot as a massive main stage headliner.
It is a huge “full circle” moment for the fans who have been there since day one. He will be joined by the amazing Lainey Wilson and Post Malone for an unforgettable weekend.
{BTW, some early reports called her Lainey Williams, but we all know the real queen is Lainey Wilson! She is back and better than ever.}

There is also a massive wave of nostalgia coming to California this year. If you grew up rocking out to the radio, you will be thrilled to see legends like Journey and Hootie & the Blowfish on the list. Even bands like Bush and Third Eye Blind are joining the fun. It is the perfect mix of country roots and classic rock favorites.
There is a big reason why this Texas rodeo star is now a massive headliner.
Cody is known for his neo-traditional style. If you miss the days of George Strait and Alan Jackson, Cody is the artist you have been waiting for. This performance of his hit song proves exactly why he is leading the new wave of traditional country music.
