“I’ll never forget the first time I got the call to play Stagecoach,” Johnson recalled. “We were on one of the smaller stages and I remember wondering if anyone would even know our songs. Now here we are invited back to headline the Mane Stage. What a ride.”
The winner of the new CBS music competition series The Road with Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson — which premieres Oct. 19 — will take the stage at this year’s festival on the iconic Mane Stage, and receive a $250,000 cash prize along with a recording contract from Country Road Records, a division of 101 Studios in partnership with Thirty Tigers.
Stagecoach mainstays Diplo and Guy Fieri are set to return for festival goer favorites, Diplo’s HonkyTonk and Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse. Diplo’s HonkyTonk brings some of the biggest names in dance music to the grounds, while Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse showcases chefs, pit bosses, and BBQ vendors.
