Stagecoach Festival Tickets Promo Code

Stagecoaches are as American as cowboys, hotdogs and Columbia aka Queen Sumerimus. They were the stable form of transport in the so called Wild West before the advent of railway transportation and travelling in them from town to town was literally termed as staging. Though commuting via horse drawn stagecoaches, or staging, has completely died down except for in special novelty parades and sightseeing tours, motorized ones have become more the order of the day in the past couple of decades, especially in the form of motor homes/trailers and camping coasters. However, there is one annual celebration that has been for the past six years serving as the ideal “staging” ground for the legacy of American traditions embodied in country music. So lasso some Stagecoach Festival Tickets to revel in melodies rolling across the plains amidst the sun-kissed stretches of Indio in California.

Organized by Goldenvoice, the Stagecoach Country Music Festival was, well, staged for the first time in 2007 over two days on the first weekend of May at the Empire Polo Club. The Club had already made history by having Pearl Jam rock some 25,000 fans in 1993 and then hosting the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival from 1999 onwards. The region of Indio, meaning ‘Indian’ in Spanish, itself is referred to as “the Hub of the Valley” and developed following the arrival of the railroad in 1876. Soon the copious sunshine and agricultural potential of the area was exploited to develop the mass growing of Onions, dates, grapes, citrus fruits as well as cotton. Over the decades, the Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in developing Indio as “The City of Festivals”, what with a multitude of festivals such as the National Date Festival, Riverside County Fair and the Indio International Tamale Festival. The latter has even earned a pair of Guinness World Records for being “the world’s largest cooking and culinary festival” as well as for having the world’s largest Tamale, a corn-dough based dish made in a leaf wrapper. And by latching on to your 2012 Stagecoach Country Music Festival 3 Day Pass, you will become part of another grand tradition in the making. The first Stagecoach Country Music Festival event, sponsored by the Country Music Association, was held in 2007 and aptly set the “stage” for the successive annual festivals to follow. It was held a week after the veteran Coachella Festival had already enthralled more than 50,000 attendees with a tantalizing sampling of major rock and electronic acts. However the Stagecoach Country Music Festival soon set a precedent by featuring more than two dozen acts that ranged from heavyweights such as Alan Jackson, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Sara Evans, Keney Chesney to up and coming acts such as Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland and Yonder Mountain String Band. Such scintillating lineups have justified many of the attendees of the Coachella Festival returning back to what is literally the middle of the desert, as well as justifying acquiring your very own Stagecoach Music Festival.

The 2008 installment of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival upped the ante by spreading the lineup of almost five dozen acts over 3 days. The festival goers were treated with the seasoned vibes of The Eagles, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts along with the peppy melodies of Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins. The 2009 tranche crammed the featured artists back into a two-day event, but did not compromise on the star power by bringing in everybody from Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire and Kenny Chesney to Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum and Zac Brown Band. The 2012 Stagecoach Country Music Festival 3 Day Pass will enable you to gorge upon a feast of musical treats served by the likes of Blake Shelton, Aaron Lewis, Brad Paisley, Chris Isaak, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, Sara Evans and The Band Perry.

The festival transforms the Empire Polo Club virtually into an oasis in the middle of the desert, with a plethora of scantily clad beauties soaking up the sun by either parading all over or lounging about in front of their RVs. During the 3-day event, the revelers chug down enough beer to put the students of a party college to shame. However, it’s the cocktail of heady melodies that is the most intoxicating brew so book your Stagecoach Festival Tickets now to have a hearty swig.
