Amazon Music has reupped with Stagecoach as the exclusive livestream partner for the sold-out 2025 edition of the California country music festival, the company announced Monday.
Coverage will start at 4 p.m. PT each day on April 25-27 and be available via Prime Video, the Amazon Music app or Twitch. The content will be spread across two different channels, airing content from different stages on the Indio, Calif. grounds.
Moreover, for the first time, there will be an immediate rebroadcast of each afternoon and evening’s programming. The time given for this daily rerun is 7 a.m. GMT — that time zone indicating that the repeat is aimed at catching an international audience after they wake up. But the re-airing may also catch some night owls in North America as well. That GMT time translates to midnight PT, meaning the reairing will begin shorty after Amazon wraps up showing the headliner’s set each night.
It’s the third straight year Amazon has had exclusive streaming rights to Stagecoach. In 2022, YouTube livestreamed the festival for just one year. Prior to that, Yahoo! had streaming privileges up through 2018. (There was no livestream in 2019, and the festival was canceled due to the pandemic in 2020-21.)
Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll and Luke Combs are this year’s main stage (or “Mane Stage”) headliners. Their sets begin at 9:30 p.m. PT on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, respectively.
Those three aren’t actually the concluding acts each night, though. The Palomino stage will have a not-quite-as-country performance at 11:10 p.m. each night, to keep the party going, and/or keep 80,000 people from all trying to drive off at once. The first night’s after-hours set features T-Pain, followed by Creed taking that slot on Saturday and the Backstreet Boys doing it late Sunday.
Possibly the most anticipated set of Stagecoach 2025 — at least among general audiences — is the country-themed show Lana Del Rey will be doing on opening night. She performs what is billed as a country-themed set on Friday from 8:10-9:10.
Other artists featured over the three days include Sturgill Simpson, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, Shaboozey, Brothers Osborne, Nelly, Midland, Sierra Ferrell, Dasha, Koe Wetzel, Sammy Hagar, Scotty McCreery, Tigerlily Gold and Flatland Cavalry. There will also be a dance tent featuring DJS from Diplo to Paris Hilton, although it may be unlikely that would be part of the livestream.
The Stagecoach livestream will be hosted by Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson of the Country Heat Weekly podcast, with their artist interviews appearing between some of the performances.
Amazon is also setting up a “festival shop” that will include exclusive merch from some of the artists.
