Stage Coach Festival: Two Days, Two Keiths, So Fun
By Everette Perry
Country music's answer to Coachella, Stagecoach, brought
over 120,000 cowboys and girls to Indio, California this weekend for a two-day festival of all things twangy. The noon to dusk
outdoor concert had four stages that featured heavy hitters like
Sugarland, Keith Urban (rumor has it Nicole was back stage), Brooks &
Dunn (who say this is there final tour together after 20 years), Toby
Keith, the Oak Ridge Boys, and Merle Haggard. The highlight of the
event, however, had to be Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles' rendition of Beyonce's "Single Ladies", complete with a full "Put a Ring
on it" dance that would put even the most talented YouTube impersonators to shame.
And, judge not snobs. Though the hoe-down might conjure images of the shirtless and drunk (of whom there were plenty), the
scene was filled with a surprisingly lrge amount of urban-hipsters country fans. Or maybe they were just looking for any
excuse to slip into a pair tight jeans and throw on a cowboy hat. Regardless, check out the crowd in the above gallery.
