Stagecoach Halts Saturday Night as High Winds Force Evacuation

Organizers said they will reopen with revised set times pending safety checks under an ongoing National Weather Service wind advisory.

Overview

  • The festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio was postponed Saturday night after strong gusts prompted emergency messages on stage screens and a site-wide evacuation.
  • Stagecoach later told fans the show would resume and posted new set times, with Lainey Wilson moved to 10:30 p.m., as crews prepared the grounds for a safe return.
  • The National Weather Service kept a wind advisory in place through 11 a.m. Sunday for the Coachella Valley, warning of 25–35 mph winds and gusts up to 55–65 mph.
  • On-site reporting noted some emergency exits near the main stage were kept closed by security, which slowed the flow of people leaving during the evacuation.
  • Most sets stream on Amazon Music’s two-channel feed from 3 p.m. PT on Prime Video, Twitch and the Amazon Music app, with SiriusXM airing performances and interviews on The Highway, Outlaw Country and Y’Allternative.
