The Desert Sun’s Kate Franco writes about 5 great experiences at Stagecoach 2018 (other than the performers on the Mane Stage that is):

Whiskey B's

Tucked away near the festival’s Ferris Wheel in an old adobe building, Whiskey B’s is a hidden dive bar that serves up some serious attitude and potent drinks.

HonkyTonk Dance Hall

In addition to being staffed by some of the most fun and engaging dance teachers around, the dance hall is air conditioned and the place to be for some of the most friendly and welcoming vibes at the festival. 

Guy's Stagecoach Smokehouse

Guy's Stagecoach Smokehouse is a food-hall offering a collection of pit masters, curated by none other than Guy Fieri himself. Best of all it’s shaded, has plenty of tables and two large bars make this a must-visit over the weekend.

The Bazaar

This marketplace offers everything from "redneck" t-shirts to custom-carved signs to some seriously stylish fashion thanks to Nikki Lane's Stage Stop Marketplace, a collection of boutiques offering her special brand of vintage Nashville style.

Palomino Stage

On the opposite end of the festival grounds from the popular Mane Stage, the Palomino Tent offers some of the best alt-Country, Americana and country rock touring today. Kate’s picks for each day: Molly Hatchet Friday at 7:40 p.m., Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit at 6:10 p.m. on Saturday and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real Sunday at 5:20 p.m. Kate advises to be on high alert during the Lukas Nelson set for a possible cameo from proud papa Willie Nelson and reminds us that the Promise of the Real was Neil Young's band during Desert Trip.
