Noeline Hofmann joined him for a serene duet of their 2024 collaboration “Purple Gas,” followed by “If She Wants a Cowboy” and “American Nights.” Willow Avalon also joined him for the song “I Remember Everything” towards the end of the set, followed by the song “Nine Ball” and “Hey Driver."

The first day of Stagecoach certainly kicked off the festival weekend with a bang, especially when Zach Bryan capped that Friday night with an electrifying 30-song set full of favorites, deep cuts and a few surprises.

It was an exciting first day in the desert for the Stagecoach Music Festival, which annually brings many of the best and biggest country acts in the world to Indio, Calif. for three days of performances.

Lana Del Rey turned the Stagecoach Country Music Festival into her own enchanted bayou on Friday, April 25, at the Palomino, delivering a breathtaking set that blended classic Americana and country, and her own flare of dreamy indie pop that she’s known to make all her own, combined with bold, personal storytelling.

Although singer Lana Del Rey is known for her melancholic, indie pop sound, she showed she has the chops for the Stagecoach crowd as she played a special country set Friday night in the Palomino tent.
