Friday – April 29, 2022
1:30PM: Stagecoach is finally back and there’s no better way to kick if off then seeing Spencer Crandall on the SiriusXM Spotlight Stage! The budding country crooner, who has been out on the road with Lauren Alaina, is set to play his new single “Red Flags” as well as tease new music that’s set to drop later this year.
2:20PM: We suggest staying put at the Spotlight Stage all afternoon, as our girls Walker County are set to perform right after Spencer. The fierce sister duo are bringing their fun energy to the stage at Stagecoach, as Ivy has an amazing range as lead vocals and her younger sister Sophie plays the drums. We hope they sing their new fan-favorite “You and Jesus” with Greylan James!
3:20PM: Ryan Griffin will bring all of the summer vibes to the festival with his new single “Salt, Lime & Tequila,” so we highly suggest watching his set on Friday. The artist, who we must include is very easy on the eyes, has a gift when it comes to songwriting. He co-wrote Kelsea Ballerini’s hit “Dibs” and now has garnered millions of his own fans and even a record deal with Red Street Country – the record label started by Rascal Flatts co-founder Jay DeMarcus.
4PM: Our girl Ingrid Andress has grown TREMENDOUSLY since she first burst onto the scene with “More Hearts Like Mine,” and we are here for it. The artist recently released “Wishful Drinking” with Sam Hunt, and will be a one to watch on the Mane Stage.
5PM: Known for his incredible songwriting talents as well as being married to award-winning singer/songwriter Maren Morris, Ryan Hurd is making his way to the desert for a set on the Mane Stage at Stagecoach 2022. Having previously written for artists like Luke Bryan, Lady A and Blake Shelton, Hurd is making a name for himself with his original music, which he’s set to play firing his 35-minute set. Additionally, we hope he performs his stunning duet with his wife Maren to hype the crowd before her set at 8:30.
6:05PM: Following Ryan Hurd, stay where you are to sing along to Jordan Davis’ record-breaking coming of age single “Buy Dirt” with the ones who matter most. Plus, who doesn’t want to “Slow Dance In A Parking Lot” — or this case in the middle of the desert — before heading to the Palomino Stage to see Tanya Tucker at 6:25PM.
6:25PM: Its been 50 years since Tanya Tucker dropped her legendary hit “Delta Dawn,” so why not head over to the Palomino Stage to sing along and commemorate the artist’s special milestone? It’s incredible to see that she’s still out here doing what she does most, and her set will absolutely guarantee a good time.
7:10PM: There’s no “Drinkin’ Problem” here at Stagecoach, so grab your beer and head back to the Mane Stage to see Midland perform! The 2018 ACM Awards New Vocal Group of the Year is now bringing listeners a resurgence of their thick harmonies, sad melodies, tart lyrics and steel guitar with their latest album THE LAST RESORT: GREETINGS FROM next Friday (May 6), so their set is one that you can’t miss. Growing from bar band to an in-demand headliner, the trio has spent the past few years on the coast to coast as well as supporting George Strait, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Little Big Town.
7:40PM: You’ll have to rush over to the Palomino Stage pretty quickly to catch Brandi Carlile following Midland, as she’s an artist that can do it all. Giving us true #GirlBoss energy, Brandi will perform songs off her newest No. 1 album, In These Silent Days, which is available to stream now.
8:30 pm: Maren Morris. Her husband plays just a couple of hours earlier… Do we think there is any chance one of them does a surprise appearance during their set? We hope so! Maren, who has been very open to her fans about the ups and downs of life, always puts on a good show. You won’t want to miss her.
9:50 pm: Thomas Rhett. Thomas is FULL of energy and gives 110% into every show. With Stagecoach on pause for the last two years, Rhett and his new music will sure make you feel “Country Again” on the first night of the festival.
11:20PM: Late Night with BRELAND. After moving from the SiriusXM Spotlight Stage, BRELAND is taking his viral hits to the Palomino Stage for a special set on a bigger stage and at an all new time. We’re about to “Praise The Lord” after hearing his songs that blend country, R&B and soul and hope he singer/songwriter even brings out some special guests (we’re looking at you, Hardy) for a rendition of their smash hit “Beers on Me” with Dierks Bentley.
