The 2024 Stagecoach Country Music Festival concludes Sunday at the Empire Polo Club, highlighted by a performance from multi-Platinum artist Morgan Wallen.

Pass-holders will be able to access the festival grounds starting at noon, catching shows across five different stages — Mane Stage, Palomino, Diplo’s Honkytonk, Toyota Music Den, and Bud Light Backyard, according to organizers. Set times for each day are available at stagecoachfestival.com/set-times.

Wallen’s show at the Mane Stage is one of more than 30 performances on the event’s final day. Following Wallen, rapper Wiz Khalifa will take over the Palomino stage to send the festival off into the sunset.

Other noteworthy artists will include Diplo, The Beach Boys, HARDY, Clint Black, Pam Tillis, and Nate Smith. Several Gen Z artists are among Sunday’s lineup as well, including Bailey Zimmerman and Megan Moroney.

On Saturday, festival-goers flocked to sets featuring Leon Bridges and Miranda Lambert, who debuted a new song, “Wranglers,” and teamed up with special guest Reba McEntire. Post Malone thrilled crowds with special guests Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley and Sara Evans.

Country Legend Willie Nelson, who turns 91 Monday, got his birthday celebration started early with a classics-heavy set featuring guest appearances by Ernest, Charley Crockett and Jelly Roll along with several family members.

The festival kicked off Friday with headlining sets from Jelly Roll, Elle King and special guests including T-Pain. At the Palomino Stage, Paul Cauthen brought out Lana Del Rey, fresh from headlining Coachella 2024, for a duet of the Righteous Brothers. classic “Unchained Melody.”

Friday’s Stagecoach reactions had social media lit with criticism of headliner Eric Church for a low-energy, mostly acoustic, set featuring a gospel choir, a stained glass backdrop and an abundance of cover songs that left fans — many of whom left early — wondering if he ever got around to doing any of his own songs.

“As a huge fan, that was the most disappointing set I’ve ever experienced,” a fan named Michael posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Like the previous two days, Sunday attractions will include a Ferris wheel and cooking demonstrations.
