Stagecoach 2023 set times: Here's when the headliners — and everyone else — are playing

If your new Stetson and boots are ready to go and you're raring to watch stars like Jon Pardi and ZZ Top at Stagecoach, then we have some bad news: Your plans might need a little adjustin'.

That's because the always-coveted set times for the festival dropped Thursday, and with them, the realization that Pardi and Top's Friday sets will overlap in what will surely be a source of frustration and disappointment for many festivalgoers.

That's not the only such conflict either: Elle King and Melissa Etheridge's sets will also overlap on Friday while fans will also have to choose between seeing the end of "I Hope" singer Gabby Barrett's set and the start of rocker Bryan Adams over at the Palomino stage on Saturday.

But the news isn't all bad. While they will have to miss ZZ Top and Etheridge, fans who simply want to park themselves at the Main Stage Friday night will be treated to a parade of hitmakers, with King handing off the stage to Riley King, who will surely play his song "There Was This Girl" that remains a mainstay of country radio over four years after it was released.

The hits will then continue with Pardi and finish up with headliner Luke Bryan at 9:50 p.m. Saturday will be similar, with Barrett's set being followed by Old Dominion and headliner Kane Brown.

The release also brought some surprises as it revealed the other EDM performers that DJ and Stagecoach mainstay Diplo has tapped to play on his Honkeytonk Stage as he furthers the improbable marriage between Stagecoach and electronic dance music. That stage's offerings will include Dillon Francis, Lost Frequencies and one-time "Bachelor" contestant-turned-DJ Blake Horstman.

Of course, there are some Stagecoach pleasures that simply don't adhere to any schedule. If you are hoping to see a couple of frat bros who have clearly had a little too much fun climb on top of the festival's iconic giant horse statue to chug a beer (a pleasure some Desert Sun reporters were treated to last year) then, well, you'll just have to hope you're in the right place at the right time.

Itching to plan what can be planned (and mourn the sets you'll have to miss)? The full list of set times can be found at stagecoachfestival.com. Happy Stagecoachin'.
