Stagecoach 2025: A Celebration of Country Music, Food, and Growth

The annual Stagecoach festival has become a must-attend event for country music lovers all over the world. With its star-studded lineup, mouth-watering food options, and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s no wonder that the festival has grown in popularity over the years. This year’s edition, Stagecoach 2025, was no exception. We caught up with some of the festival’s key players to get their take on how Stagecoach has evolved and what makes it such a special event.

Stacy Vee, the head of Goldenvoice, the company behind Stagecoach, has been a part of the festival since its inception. When asked about the growth of the festival, she says, “It’s been an incredible journey to see Stagecoach grow into what it is today. We started off with a small lineup and a handful of food vendors, and now we have some of the biggest names in country music and a wide variety of food options from all over the world.”

Indeed, Stagecoach has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2007. From its first edition, which featured headliners such as George Strait and Tim McGraw, the festival has consistently delivered top-notch performances from the biggest names in country music. This year’s lineup included the likes of Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and Carrie Underwood, just to name a few.

But it’s not just the music that keeps people coming back to Stagecoach year after year. The festival has also become known for its diverse food options. From traditional BBQ and southern comfort food to international cuisines like sushi and tacos, there’s something for everyone at Stagecoach. Guy Fieri, the renowned celebrity chef and host of Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” has been a part of the festival for the past few years. He says, “I love being a part of Stagecoach because it’s not just about the music, it’s about the food too. I get to bring some of my favorite dishes and share them with all the festival-goers. It’s a great feeling.”

Aside from the music and food, Stagecoach has also become known for its fun and lively atmosphere. Jelly Roll, a popular country rapper who performed at this year’s festival, says, “Stagecoach is like a big family reunion. You see familiar faces every year and everyone is just here to have a good time. It’s a special feeling.”

Shaboozey, a rising country star who made his Stagecoach debut this year, adds, “The energy at Stagecoach is unlike any other festival I’ve been to. The fans are so passionate and it’s just a great vibe all around. I’m honored to be a part of it.”

As Stagecoach continues to grow in popularity, it has also expanded its offerings to cater to a wider audience. The festival now includes a variety of activities such as line dancing lessons, a BBQ competition, and even a Ferris wheel. This year, they also introduced a new stage, the “Next from Nashville” stage, which featured up-and-coming country artists.

With all these exciting developments, it’s no surprise that Stagecoach 2025 was a huge success. The festival saw record-breaking attendance and received rave reviews from both fans and performers alike. But the true measure of Stagecoach’s success lies in the experiences of its attendees. Tetris Kelly, a die-hard country music fan who has been to every Stagecoach since its inception, says, “I can’t put into words how much Stagecoach means to me. It’s my happy place. Every year, I look forward to the music, the food, and the amazing people I meet. It’s an experience like no other.”
