The Stagecoach Country Music Festival has closed out another three-day weekend for the books at the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 26-28.
We felt good vibrations with The Beach Boys, watched a world record attempt, danced it up in Diplo’s Honky Tonk, sang along with Post Malone as he covered some of our favorite country, ate barbeque when we could find it and enjoyed the diversity the festival had to offer.
Did we mention we brought our cameras along for all the fun? Here’s our photographer’s 50 favorite images from Stagecoach:
