The organizers ofΒ Stagecoach,Β the massive country music festival, have invited some unexpected guests to the honky-tonk.
The Chainsmokers and Marshmello, two acts more accustomed to bass drops than steel guitars, will be saddling up in the Coachella Valley this weekend. The EDM superstars will throw down at Diplo's HonkyTonk, a stage blurring the lines of country and dance music.
Other notable DJs performing at Diplo's curated stage over the weekend include Cheat Codes, Cloonee, Dillon Francis and VAVO, the lattermost of whom have surged in popularity due to their viral remixes of country hits like Morgan Wallen's "Last Night."
While the nexus of country and dance music is a frail one, it has led to some big hits.Β Back in 2018, The Chainsmokers joined forces with country-pop artist Kelsea Ballerini for "This Feeling." A year later, Marshmello collaborated with superstar country singer Kane Brown to release "One Thing Right."
Stagecoach returns from April 26-28 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. This yearβs headliners are Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen, who are joined on the undercard by Jelly Roll, Elle King, Post Malone,Β The Beach Boys and Willie Nelson & Family, among others.
Stagecoach attendees can find the festival's performance schedule and set times here.
