Stagecoach 2025 Day 2: Five moments from the festival which missed the mark

Although Stagecoach 2025 Day 2 at the Empire Polo Club offered a thrilling lineup of performers, not every moment lived up to the expectations of the attendees. From weather woes to technical issues, here are the five worst moments from Stagecoach 2025 Day 2.

1) Strong winds

According to a report in Desert Sun, Stagecoach 2025 Day 2 was disrupted when high winds combined with dust and dead grass started blowing, causing the crowd to take cover. What should have been a golden afternoon of music turned into an uncomfortable battle against the elements. Country music fans were seen chasing after their hats and chairs, instead of enjoying the concert.

2) Sound system failure

Louie the Singer and his band didn’t have a good start as they faced technical glitches during their performance on Day 2 of Stagecoach 2025. The reports stated that when their guitarist tried speaking through the microphone, nothing came out. The audio cut out multiple times during the set, which led to muffling of the lyrics.

A similar thing happened when Jessie Murph was introduced to sing on the stage. As per Billboard, her voice was muffled at some moments.

3) Jelly Roll’s surprise guests

Jelly Roll, who headlined Day 2 of Stagecoach 2025, introduced a lineup of guest performers during his set. However, some of these guest appearances, and genre blends received mixed responses.

For example, his duet with Machine Gun Kelly on a pop-punk track was met with a notably lacklustre crowd reaction. When he paired with Lana Del Rey to perform, it received a similar response from the audience.

4) Overcrowding

Few reports suggested that there was overcrowding in the Palamino tents, which hampered the attendees from watching the performances of their favorite artists.

5) Long Queues

Another failure from the event was long queues outside food stalls. A report in the Desert Sun indicated that people stood in lines for 40 minutes to an hour to grab their snack.

If Stagecoach would pay heed to these difficulties faced by the attendees, future editions of the festival could offer a much more enjoyable and seamless experience for all. Addressing such concerns as these would go a long way in building up the reputation of the festival.
