The brains behind the Stagecoach Country Music Festival (Coachella's alter-ego) just added a third day - Friday, May 2 - to its schedule, and have pulled down none other than The Eagles to headline it. The event, billed as "California's country music festival" features other big-name country, bluegrass, folk, roots rock and alt.country acts like Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, the Judds, Carrie Underwood and Big & Rich. The added opening day alone boasts John Fogerty, Trisha Yearwood, Shelby Lynne, Glen Campbell and Rissi Palmer.
The Eagles released their most recent album, the extremely-high-selling Long Road Out of Eden, last year, and will perform some of its material at Stagecoach, along with a sampling of songs from the rest of their extensive career.
Stagecoach takes place May 2-4 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif. Ticketing information, especially concerning the added third day is available at the tickets page of StagecoachFestival.com.
