There is still plenty of big country music moments to enjoy in 2024, but why not plan for 2025? The 2025 Stagecoach Festival lineup has just been announced, and it could very well be the best one yet.

Who Is Headlining Stagecoach in 2025?

California’s Country Music Festival will feature some of the genre’s biggest names. Zach Bryan will headline opening night on Friday, April 25. He’ll be joined by artists like Brothers Osborne, Bryan Martin, Carly Pearce, Dylan Scott and more.

On Saturday, April 26, Jelly Roll will top off the night after Sturgill Simpson,  Ashley McBryde, Shaboozey and several others take the stage.

And finally, Luke Combs will close out Stagecoach 2025 on Sunday, April 27. His night’s lineup includes performances by Midland, Scotty McCreery, Tracy Lawrence and so many others.

Surprises in the Stagecoach 2025 Lineup

Stagecoach Festival is known for mixing in some non-country acts into its lineups. In 2025, they’re tossing in names like Lana Del Rey, Nelly, the Backstreet Boys, Sammy Hagar and the Goo Goo Dolls, among others.

Prepare for Some Surprise Collaborations

What makes this 2025 lineup so special is the willingness of these artists to throw out the rulebook. Each of the headliners is known to walk to the beat of their own drum, and it wouldn’t be out of character for any of them to pull a special guest on stage with them — especially a name or two from the lineup.

For instance, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Nelly perform with someone like Jelly Roll, especially since he’s already had a few hits in country music with Florida Georgia Line and Tim McGraw. Heck, even the Backstreet Boys made a song with FGL.

Lana Del Rey and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys have both expressed interest in making country music in the past, so it’s totally possible they’ll be working on something to wow fans of the genre. And Hagar’s love for artists like Toby Keith has him on our radar for a tribute song or two.

Zach Bryan has a song with Bruce Springsteen that could lead to a major surprise appearance from the rocker. It’s a dream, sure, but who knows?

Stagecoach offered some epic, memorable moments in 2024, like Jelly Roll and T-Pain singing “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” and it’s likely 2025 will be even bigger.
