This desert festival may be more familiar to you as country-cella. Stagecoach took place for the first time in 2007, and has generally been selling out since 2012, with 55,000 in attendance. It takes place in the Indio, CA high desert, the same area as Coachella. Stagecoach is a three-day camping event, with onsite camping. Additionally, the festival has reintroduced car camping this year in response to sold out campsites. Car camping is slightly more economical at $179 per vehicle, but that price is in addition to your passes for the actual event. For 3-day admission, prices range from $329 for GA admission to about $2000 per person for full hotel package.
