Wade Forster ProfileThe line-up for next year’s Stagecoach Festival has arrived, and two of Australia’s rising country music stars appear on the bill.
Headlined by Riley Green, Zach Top, Garth Brooks and Florida Georgia Line – the latter appearing as part of the “Late Night on Mustang” portion of the line-up – Stagecoach returns to Empire Polo Club, California (the home of Coachella) in April 2027.
Exploring the bill, there’s plenty for everyone, with performances by Hardy, Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, Willie Nelson & Family, Journey, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, Dasha, Matchbox Twenty, Stella Lefty, Waylon Wyatt, and many more on the line-up.
But if fans look on the sixth and fifth lines of the Friday (23 April) and Saturday (24 April) breakdown, respectively, they’ll spot two rising stars of Australian country music. Wade Forster performs on the Friday, and Mack Geiger on the Saturday.
“First time playing @stagecoach. Let’s go!” Wade Foster wrote on Instagram before sharing ticketing information. Geiger added, “See you at @stagecoach🔥”.
Passes for Stagecoach 2026 will be available from Friday, 18 September, at 11 am PT. Head to the festival website for more information.
In June, Geiger embarked on his debut US headline tour. For his inaugural dates across America, Geiger hosted sold-out shows, performed at CMA Fest, and received a standing ovation during his Grand Ole Opry debut.
Meanwhile, Forster makes his Grand Ole Opry debut on Wednesday, 30 September.
The Australian cowboy said of the news, “It’s every kid’s dream to make it to a historic venue like this, no matter what you do. I still can’t believe I get to tell everyone back home in my little outback town in Australia that I’m playing the @opry.”
Forster is also touring across the US this month for his third headline run across the States this year—a majority of the dates sold out well in advance.
