Darius Rucker, Josh Turner and Kenny Chesney were amazing! It was a lot of fun to people watch. There were a lot of beautiful men and women in awesome shape! There were guys in speedos, girls in bikinis and some people even walked around in costume! It was a lot of fun taking pics with all these people! The only thing I would suggest is to load up on booze before you go into the concert....the drinks were super expensive!

Next year you should go back to the old way of doing the tickets. Once you get scanned in have a person put a wrist band that is good for the weekend. It's a pain in he butt to have to hold onto your paper ticket the whole concert and have to get scanned out. Other then that a great show as always. We have been going since the first one

People were very friendly. Food was great. Lots of great acts. I love that you can see the old acts as well as the new. Merle Haggard was wonderful. Sugarland was fun. Little Jimmy Dickens was cute. Carlene Carter has a great voice. Brooks & Dunn were totally rocking.

I had such a great time, very fun. It did not dissapoint. Sugarland was a pleasent suprise they were really entertaining and keith urban was everything I hoped for and more. The fair grounds were really well laid out with lots of bathrooms, water, and food. It was really upscale for a country music festival. Event staff was very helpfull. The only downside is parking and the roads getting in and out of the facility cant handle the amount of people there. i strongly suggest taking a shuttle, it is so worth it the money. I plan on making stagecoach a yearly event.

What a great festival. I loved the "oldies", BJ Thomas (looking hot at 67) and Merle Haggard. I loved Sugarland and what can I say about Keith Urban... Amazing. The grounds are huge and grassy with lots of room to see everything and no long waits in line for eats and beer. What a fun day for our big group ranging in age from 21 to 76.

I had the BEST time ever ! ! ! ! It ran so smoothly. The food choices were great. The fields were perfect. The night was beautiful. Sound systems were amazing I could hear every note. We were in the very back and it felt like we were right up front ! The artists were unbelievable!!! I can't WAIT for next year. Next year I am staying longer. Best to arrive Friday and stay the whole weekend. We only did Saturday. Next year ....it will be all weekend!!! LOVED it !!! Great job!

We still have today to attend, but it was better than I expected. I wanted the tickets as my birthday present from my boyfriend and it will be one of the gifts I always remember. Yesterday was awesome. The event is well run, organized, CLEAN. TONS of Portapotties, that were kept clean and stocked even with hand sanitizer. Lots of food and drink vendors, so lines were not very long. Even moving everyone in and out of parking wasn't too bad and well directed for the amount of people attending. They had staff everywhere to answer questions and point you in the right direction. The weather was Perfect, the staging and big screens provided great viewing from anywhere, there no bad seats. The polo grounds were beautiful. The attendees, clean cut country boys and girls. Respectful and nothing too rowdy! There is a lot of walking, sore feet today between parking and stages. Food and Drink is a little costly but normal for an event. Suggestions, wear sun screen, a hat, carry a backpack, and bring backpack folding chairs or chairs with a shoulder straps and wear comfortable shoes.

The saturday performances by Joy & Rory, Phil Vasser, Billy Currington, Sugarland and Keith Urban.were totally awesome!! Took me 3 hours to find my car afterward because of the very poorly marked "Day Parking" lots - specifically the widely separated, 2 parts, of LOT 14. OMG!! Hopefully the other people that I ran into that also could not find their cars -- finally met up with the only person among the support staff -- that actually knew about the far removed part of Lot 14!! Due to the blisters on my feet and my totally fatigued lower back I had to return to LA and miss the Sunday performances!! I sure hope that the parking areas are BETTER MARKED next year.

clean FLUSHABLE toilets!!!!!! I paid; I am in the $500 seats and not enough clean flushable toilets offered for $500! and seating in food areas!!!! Entertaners are worth seeing once, but due to not enugh amenities offered to $500 seats I don't think I will do this event agan; I would prefer to see the individual artists at their own cocerts

I was very impressed with the organization and the whole event. Plenty of room to move around, dance and party. Surprisingly there was more than enough bathrooms that were kept up for both men and women, more than enough beer stands ( I think the longest line i was in was 3 people) Plenty of choices on food. The show was amazing and not a lot of down time. We were able to bring chairs, blankets, umbrellas and so forth that didn't obstruct anyone's views. Amazing show! This has to be the best Festival I have been to and would certainly go to any event at the empire polo club. It was top notch.

The whole festival is wonderful experience for country music lovers. 2 more tents besides main stage offered good shows too. Great food (especially bbq tastings $2 for 2 oz of biscuits) Shows didn't start till 3 30pm, so most of the day you just wander around the tents, food and beer garden. It is desert, so heat can be unbearable. Lot's of walking since there is only one entrance in and out of venue. They make you spill your water then buy their water bottle for $10 to get a free refill. Go figure. You can bring snacks, but plenty of food tents are there.

Sugarland was on fire! Jennifer engaged the audience and they really put on a super, high energy performance--thank you for booking them, they were the reason I returned this year. Keith Urban stole the show. He played to the people and the people knew it! His talent was over the top and I am "sold" to see him again. I mostly enjoyed his genuine feeling of showmanship! Such as, acknowledging the 'signer' on stage--that's the real deal.

I don't know who decided to reconfigure the parking and turn it into a total NIGHTMARE, but the change made it a terribly frustrating experience both coming and going. The Music was great., which is what we came for; but the venue and the people directing traffic, and the security folks who can't answer a question, and all the blocked streets...hideous. I may not even go to day two..hideous!

i had high expectations of stagecoach because of how amazing people have said it was in the past. usually high expectations end up being a let down. this was not the case. everything about this event was more than i could have imagined. from the time i got there till the time i got back i was having the best time of y life. the people there, the weather, the drinking, and especially the MUSUC!!!!!! were all factors of the best time i've had in years. for sure going next year and best concert i've ever been to.

Rascal Flatts and Carrie underwood and Josh turner were just amazing. had every body up on their feet dancing. on Sat it was fun too. but Kenny Chensey's sound was off. it was a different type of music both night but overall the weekend was great can't wait to do it again.

I thought the Sunday was the best, but probably thats because Saturday I partied too hard and was exhausted! It helped that the temperature was cooler than last year also.

well i had never been before so wanted to give it a try. first you have to walk two miles to get into the concert seating. not fun when carrying chairs in the summer sun. then you get there and every one that is camping has already staked out their site. you end up sitting over a quarter of a mile away looking at monitors of the performance. it's like watching cmt on your tv at home. i had binoculars and couldn't see the performers. i spent 18 dollars on a chicken wrap, fries and a bottle of water. a large beer is 9.00. the only good thing was that there was hardly ever a line to use the toilet. If all your going for is to get drunk all day with your friends and you don't really care about seeing a good show then this is the venue for you. i'll tell you what save your money.grab your friends put on your ipod, listen to your favorite performers head to huntington beach and watch a bunch of chicks in bikinis while drunk and you have the same thing.

Loved the artists, the people, the venue!! Would like to see Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, and George Straight too, maybe some more big headliners, and 3 days! Next year I'm taking an RV, because at night it got really cold camping outside. Great time, people are friendly and like to party! Make sure to bring your own toilet paper, because the bathrooms tended to run out! LOVED Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, and Rascal Flatts! Loved Carrie's performance the best, and I will never forget the moment when Rascal Flatts' announce that Osama Bin Laden was killed, everyone went crazy, and I was so proud to be an American at the ultimate American Music Festival! So many good looking people, wanting to have a great time, and it was a great, amazing, fantastic, wonderful time! I can't wait for next year!!!!

This was an amazing weekend. It was my first time going so I didn't really know what to expect but it blew my mind. All of the performers were great and the people there were so nice. The only bad part is that 3 of the people in our group got food poisoning from the chicken strips there so that kinda ruined Sunday night.

I just wanted to say that Stagecoach was another success this year. I am constantly amazed at how wonderful country western fans are. We all had so much fun and saw nothing negative happen at the festival. It's great to see people of ALL AGES mix and have such a wonderful time. I do have one suggestion: Please organizers! Get more shuttles to run from the venue to parking lots! The walk to the lots is long and tiring for older people, especially after a long day of walking at the venue in the heat.

This was my first time attending Stagecoach. I purchased general admission and had an wesome time, but will opt to shell out the money for the premium seats next year. The atmosphere was just awesome. All the acts were top notch in my book. Food and drink were typically overpriced. It seemed that everything was spread out, but with the amount of people, I can see why. Saturday was great weather, with great acts. The only 2 issues that I had with Stagecoach was the crowd control Saturday night, it was out of control, and you could not go anywhere, Sunday, they seemed to rectify the issue. The second was the smarta$$ incompetent staff with the yellow jackets on. You would get 10 different answers, and they were all wrong. I am not going to harp on that because the festival itself was to awesome to let that dampen my view of the event. I will be back, and Country Rocks! Cowboy Up!!!!!!!!

Well Stagecoach is over and I have recovered. We had a great time in the El Dorado RV camping area but there are a few changes that are needed: 1. There need to be more showers & they should be open ALL HOURS. 2. A shuttle to and from town would be AWESOME. I needed Rx medication from CVS and it was a STRUGGLE to get into town since all we had was an RV and couldn't move it. 3. We arrived Thursday at 6:30 and didn't pull into park until 9 PM. Make the check-in start at noon like previous years. 4. We come to this event to hear country music and are a CAPTIVE audience Thursday and Friday nights. Have a BAND or a few BANDS in the RV areas so people can enjoy music. Even local acts would be fun. Or a Karaoke stage.

Hands down the best show I've ever been to. Plan to make it a tradition and go camping next time. The vibe and people there were indescribable. Loved every performer and every minute! Even though I ended paying over 200 for beer (but I drank a lot), that's easy to change by pregaming a bit more. THANKS STAGECOACH for some kickass memories!

Keith Urban was the best EVER at Stagecoach. Get him again but NEVER have Tim (I quit after 4 songs) McGraw again. Toby Keith was also GREAT. Also shout outs for Brooks & Dunn and Jason Aldean Shower location was the WORST ever!! Put them back were they were. Reserved seat ticket holders with their bracelets should not have to wait in line while those w/o their bracelets get scanned!! Have a lane just for those with their bracelets.

I had a great time at Stagecoach this year. The bands were awesome!! They had a great selection of drinks, food, and various booths to walk through. The only thing I was dissatisfied with was the accommodations in the VIP area. The second day you were not able to have chairs or blankets which I thought was uncalled for since people paid extra for that section. Overall I had a great time and would recommend this concert to anyone who truly likes country music.

We pulled in on Thursday afternoon and getting into El Dorado 1 was set up a little differently than last year, but smooth none the less. Within an hour, camp was set up and it was time for a cold one. Friday was just a day of people watching and looking for friends. Saturday and Sunday were the same, sleep in, have a bite to eat, people watch, grab some lunch, more poeple watch, have an early dinner then off to see & hear some awesome music. Looking forward to next year!!

Wish I could have seen both days of this show. But really wanted to see Brooks and Dunn in concert before it was too late. I really like the atmosphere of StageCoach but wish that there was a way of possibly sloping the grounds so that the people in the back could see better. Also, the video screens by the stage should have been placed on the top instead of the bottom. And the parking lot people filled the parking lot furthest away from the venue first......whats the point of getting there early?

Stagecoach, I wish it was every other weekend. I am still in the stagecoach mode right now. Brooks and Dunn were so good! They basically shot everyone else out of the water. I've never been to a country concert that was as good as the Brooks and Dunn at Stagecoach. Of coarse I really enjoyed all the concerts at Stagecoach like Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Billy, and Sugarland, etc. The environment they create at Stagecoach is amazing. I had sooo much FUN! I would recommend it to people who don't even like country!!!!!!

He should not have been scheduled at the same time as one of the Headliners. What a slap in the face for his fans. I wanted to see Sugarland but stayed true to Merle. Why wasnt he on the main stage at one of the earlier times? His tent was jam packed with fans. Heidi Newfield has two hits.......really couldnt she have been bumped to a smaller stage?

All the performers were awesome. There was more room for the fans to find a spot than other years. The location of the stage was perfect for everybody to enjoy the show. The only complain I have, is the sound level when Toby Keith was performing was too loud. The sound manager went a bit over the top, and that ruined the comfort we had enjoyed all day long. All the other performers managed their sound to a comfortable level. I am already saving for next year's festival

Keith Urban was so amazing! Hell, everyone was! We had such a great time we want to go every year. I love how tens of thousands of people can get together and all be civil, friendly and respectful. We didn't have to worry about fights or getting ripped off. It was good clean and safe fun. Only complaints are that the beer garden is too far away from the main stage and traffic control could have been a little more effective.

This was my 3rd year at Stagecoach and it was once again an enjoyable experience! As with most things there were problems but nothing that would keep me from coming back. I think for the ADA entrance- those people should be allowed in earlier than the general entrance as it takes longer for individuals with wheelchairs, canes, etc to "fight" their way to a spot on the lawn. The first year we tried sitting in the ADA area but it was too hot with the sun beating on the metal bleachers and very little room to move. It took us over an hour to get in the ADA entrance due to the fact they only had 1 line going through on Sat. It was better on Sun. but still took longer than the general entrance. That would be my biggest complaint. Anything else isn't really worth mentioning. The walkways were well identified which made walking around nice. Having staff come through selling lemonade, etc was really great as well. The line up was phenomenal!! Keith Urban, Sugarland, Brooks & Dunn, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, etc!

This event is over-the-top amazing. The lineup is always top-notch, and each of the performers this year exceeded expectations. The event is amazingly well put together and runs smoothly from start to finish. It's no small feat to provide uninterrupted 30- and 50-amp service to hundreds of RVs, let alone to park them all on a polo field! The staff and security did a great job and found a good balance between keeping people reasonably in check and not coming off as oppressive. The crowd was definitely pretty unruly (don't plan on getting much sleep; it's loud until 5am even in the "family" areas which had a 2am curfew) but they were all good people having fun. There were a few kids there and lots of teens, but I wouldn't really recommend it for younger children (case in point; huge slip-n-slide covered in dishsoap, guys sliding down it while doing a beerbong - and yes, they were with us, and we were one of the comparatively "tame" groups!) We were lucky to be parked across from the In Cahoot's rig, so there was plenty of great music all day long, even before the live acts started. All in all, this is an amazing event, highly recommended for all fans of country music!! We will definitely keep coming back year after year!

Camping was great. Good to supply showers. Could have used more for the number of people waiting. They should allow cars to park on lot to set up tents and then move cars. Had to make multiple trips far away with gear as I couldn't park closer tough there were spaces. Parking attendents seemed disorganized and unhelpful to situation. Very loud at nite with all night revelers. Should have been curbed more

Overall Stagecoach was crazy awesome. I was there both days. The empire Polo Grounds Need more TV monitors on the mane stage. (Yes I said mane stage, That's what they call it) The facility is great for a venue but really needs more TV monitors to see the performances. There are plenty of sound towers.

Although it was very hot... It was sooo worth it. I would suggest camping, but either wy it was fun. The lines were not too long and the food was good. Go early to get a good spot if u are in the general admission area... not a whole lot of shady areas.. Sun Block is a must..

The negatives - morning entry to event had horrible traffic contro But night was good. No lights in the dark areas where we were directed to park. The cook off was disjointed and should be restored to prior year set up but in another location as the Main Stage was positioned perfectly. A few more bathroom arears closer to the crowds. Loved te large screens in the General crowd area... Local band that started the MainStage events for the 2nd day was not good. I suggest holding a contest for local bands only and let the public vote on radio stations or StageCoach web site. Needed more policing of those who sat outside the lined off areas. What was good, the food, the acts and especially the headliners...Sugarland and Brooks and Dunn were 11's but everyone else except the local band were 10s. We'll be back next year

OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! The blisters on my feet, the sunburn on my face, the loss of my voice, the hour and twenty minutes it took to go 1/2 a mile while leaving was so worth seeing Keith, Toby, JASON, Billy and Brooks & Dunn!

Loved all the music and entertainment - Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland, etc. etc. I have been to a few concerts in my day, but never for a two day event and camping in an RV. I can not believe how organized and clean (not to mention friendly the staff/security) the whole event was for the entire two days! It got a little warm (95) and the water trucks were everywhere spraying down the grass to control the dust and dirt. The facilities (showers/toilets) were kept clean, the extra services like food, roller skating, mini grocery/stores, farmer's market, ice delivery, trash pick up was also amazing! And now for the event - all of the performances were exceptional. Even in the heat, each performer gave their all. Once the sun set, it only got better. My only wish was that the screens for viewing the stage were larger and that the camera man wouldn't stop filming between songs - made it hard to see the action on stage.

This was my first event at Stage Coach and I was with several close friends.... The memories will last a lifetime! My friend Kellye said i would be amazed and that it was like one big family! She was right! This is the nicest group of people I have ever met! The entertainment was secondary to enjoying the gathering of people!

Stagecoach is a very well oiled machine. All acts were on time on all three stages. This is an amazing festival that knows how to handle the 60,000 people crowd. I missed the art installations this year. I enjoyed that touch of sophistication that sets this venue apart from all others around the country. Keep the art from the Coachella Festival. It's Country meets Burning Man!

Unforgettable experience. I have attended stagecoach the last 3 years, but this was the first year I camped. Camping really completes the experience, gives you the complete stagecoach feel the entire weekend rather than just the concerts. If you just want to see concerts, get a hotel, and probably the VIP seats. If you want to experience the entirety of country music, stagecoach, and the fans, grab yourself some general admission tickets and a camping spot. You will not be disappointed.

This was honestly one of the best experience I have ever had at a music festival. I was able to camp, party all day, and sing along all night. the atmosphere around the entire festival was amazing. great people, great food, great drinks, great times.

As a country music fan, camper, and general partier, I can't say enough about how amazing of an experience Stagecoach is. 2012 was a genuniely terrific concert lineup with the biggest names in the biz. We enjoyed camping tremendously and made friends to party into the wee hours of the morning with almost instantly upon arrival. Also, the venue staff were wonderfully friendly - if at times a little clueless on pretty basic information (where are x-type of vendors located?). The biggest downside, we did have some fairly valuable stuff stolen from our campsite. The only thing I'll change is to next year, bring a secure/heavier/locking box for things like boots, sunglasses, etc... when not in use.

This year at Stagecoach was great. The one major draw back this year was how the tent camping was moved. It made that area of the camping scene, secluded, and no where near as fun as in years past. They guy who was running the camping area along with his crew were very rude and very unorganized. There was no signage saying that anyone needed to check in.

It was alot of fun. But the sound system was horrible. Also the first day I was able to bring in unopened waters. The second day they took my water away at the gate. That was TERRIBLE. It was only three bottles of water.

I enjoyed the performances. We sat in reserved seating. I would like to see more food vendors in this section. Also I really wanted to see Leon Russell and k.d. lang, but they performed at the same time Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts did.

I had never been to a country music concert, and I'm already planning my trip to stagecoach next year! The artist were all phenomenal, the ambiance was just so much fun, and the other activities all made it such an unforgettable event.

The line up was totally amazing. The best act on Saturday had to be Darius Rucker. He rocked especially liked his rendition of Purple Rain. On Sunday it was hard to decide. Carrie was awesome but, the real reason I went was to see Rascal Flatts. They were awesome!!! The atmosphere wasn't so great because there were to many people drunk. How do you appreciate a show when you can't remember it!!!

Camping for Stagecoach was a breeze! The 10x30 spots were awesome and the parking area was always well lit and accessible. Having showers and a general store was awesome. If you go next year, or for any other spring/summer event. Bring lots of ice!! Had a total blast, but be mindful of all the dust and hay if you need to bring benadryl or zyrtec. Hooray!

Not the hugest country fan, but still had the time of my life! So many people, such good food, and the music was fantastic. I would say my only con about the event is during set changes, they should play some type of music or make the changes faster. With no music, it kind of ruined the vibe for a bit. But otherwise, I recommend going every year, no matter what age. Although I would leave the kids at home. Too much going on!
