The Stagecoach Festival may take place in the exact same location--Empire Polo Fields, Indio, CA--as the more famous Coachella fest, but the so-called "Country Coachella" is a different kettle of fish altogether. In addition to top-tier country acts, the event has a county fair atmosphere, with attractions like a barbecue cook-off, a petting zoo for the kids, plenty of horses to look at, and a mechanical bull.

This year's lineup included big names like Kenny Chesney [ tickets ], Brad Paisley [ tickets ], Reba McEntire [ tickets ], Kid Rock [ tickets ], Darius Rucker [ tickets ] and Earl Scruggs [ tickets ] as well as the return of Poco [ tickets ]. Among the other performers were Miranda Lambert [ tickets ], the Zac Brown [ tickets ] Band, Kevin Costner & Modern West, the Reverend Horton Heat [ tickets ], Danielle Peck, and Little Big Town
