Stagecoach 2014

[guedita]

I need to watch Coal Miner's Daughter again. That movie was so damned good.

I distinctly remember watching it before watching another movie, but it was pretty depressing.

Stagecoach forum disappeared - not like it was very good in the first place

There are 3 stages. The Mane stage, the Mustang and the Palomino. The Mane stage is the only stage that has specific area's up front. for 2014, instead of only seats they carved in the standing room pit. It's all the same area as the seated area from the last few years.

There are venue rules and a more specific sub-set for the RV Resort (those are listed on the RV Resort page).

There weren't really much more added as far as rules go, just some needed to be more clearly called out, mostly as reminders.

Looks like a good line up to me, I'd like to see the early band Shovels and rope again!

[ocbruin84]

what part of Loretta Lynn's ranch that simulates a coal mine and her Butcher Holler home were you expecting to be thrilling?

It was pretty much what I expected actually

But fuck pizza when there's barbecue and crab fries.

STAGECOACH 2014: Festival founder talks lineup, changes

October 11, 2013 by Vanessa Franko , Press Enterprise

Three of the hottest stars in country music will headline the 2014 Stagecoach Country Music Festival when Eric Church, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan take the stage April 25-27 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

The country festival started in 2007 as a sister event to the alternative music-focused Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. As Coachella became the tastemaker for alternative music, Stagecoach has become a barometer for country stars on the rise.

The popular festival featured all three of the headliners when they were just up-and-coming acts playing during the blazing afternoon sun.

“This is the most current lineup we’ve ever had,” said Paul Tollett, head of festival promoter Goldenvoice, referring to the main stage acts.

One artist is getting the rare back-to-back appearance at consecutive fests: Florida Georgia Line.

The group opened the main stage on Sunday at the 2013 fest in the high temperatures. Even in the heat, they impressed Tollett so much that they were invited back.

“They were great,” he said.

But the contemporary country stars aren’t the only notable names the festival attracts. Stagecoach snagged legend Loretta Lynn, who was originally scheduled to perform a couple of years ago, but had to back out due to a medical issue.

Tollett noted that she is someone that the festival has been trying to have perform for a long time.

As for Stagecoach logistics, fans can expect some on-site changes.

Traditionally, Stagecoach has had two tiers of reserved seating in front of the main stage as well as general admission passes. Tollett said that the tier in front of the stage would remain fairly empty until late in the day, sometimes up until the headlining act.

To combat that, Goldenvoice is putting a standing-room only pit in front of the stage with the reserved seats behind them, in two areas known as the Corral.

“We want a party there all day,” Tollett said.

The other big change is in the camping policy. In 2013, Goldenvoice instituted new rules in an effort to curb the partying in the campgrounds, requiring RV campers to own the RV they would be taking and filling out an application for the spot.

The announcement brought on a backlash from fans, but Tollett said camping went really well at the festival this year.

For 2014, those wishing to camp will still have to fill out the application, but borrowed and rented RVs are allowed.

Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. at www.stagecoachfestival.com. General admission passes will be $249; the new Corral passes are both priced at $799.

I like how being able to string several complete sentences together is part of the RV application process.

[Boourns]

I would love to see the essays from the rejected applications.

How often does the phrase "git r dun" appear?

It looks less like people were unable to write in complete sentences, and more like they wrote too much.

seeing the Polo Field post Coachella, with no grass, is a little sad.

[gaypalmsprings]

So Loretta Lynn dropped out of Stagecoach for a second time. But they did add LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

[Miroir Noir]

Wish I was going to this.

[gaypalmsprings]

Sold Out

[TickleMeElmo]

So did anybody here actually go? There must've been somebody. I'm really curious what stayed on the polo fields after Coachella. I know they change the stages a bit and move the "Mane" stage but is all the art installations gone? What about the craft beer garden? Anything else to report?

[PlayaDelWes]

Petting zoos, etc...

[gaypalmsprings]

I went, but you asked too many questions to answer. My favorite moments: Don McLean singing the full version of American Pie, Lynyrd Skynyrd singing "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird," Crystal Gale singing "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," Nitty Gritty Dirt Band singing "Mr. Bojangles," Duane Eddy playing "Peter Gunn," Wanda Jackson yodeling, and John Conlee singing anything. Disaster: Michael Nesmith. I'll post photos later.

Did you see Shovels & Rope? I loved them at Coachella '13, they always put on a great show.

[gaypalmsprings]

Yes, I saw Shovels and Rope. They were great, but I wasn't familiar with their songs. When they switched places (guitar and drums), people were shouting "Rope and Shovels!"

[Sheldorrr]

That's awesome. It's hard for anyone who sees their shows to know a majority of the songs because they play 25+ songs from both their band and each artist's respective solo career and sometimes a variety of old covers. They're dropping a new album this summer, though! I have high hopes.

[TickleMeElmo]

I take it Astro wasn't in attendance?

[caeden]

one thing stagecoach does better than coachella: bbq in place of the do-lab. i'd prefer that setup
