This weekend, April 26-28, the famous Stagecoach Festival will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. This outdoor country music festival features a wide range of artists, from mainstream to relatively unknown musicians, in genres including mainstream country, alternative country, folk, bluegrass and roots rock. This amazing event is a favorite of those who own homes in Indio and other parts of Palm Springs, as well as all California residents and country music lovers from all over the United States.
The first ever Stagecoach took place in 2007.

Past performers include Grammy-award winning acts and standout performances including Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland, The Charlie Daniels Band, Rascal Flatts, Luke Bryan,Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, George Strait and legends like Alabama, the Eagles and Willie Nelson, among others. You can see why lucky owners of real estate in Palm Desert, La Quinta and other nearby desert cities look forward to this amazing event each year.
