The differences between the Music Festival and Coachella Valley Music Festival Stagecoach Country are more than just country music acts and indie / hip- hop / electronic dance music.

Is an obvious stage presence. The stars of the country in most cases, just seemed more comfortable in front of large crowds , often thanked the audience and shown more energy on stage.

For example, wind and dust was terrible Friday night headliner Eric Church but powered through about a two-hour performance.

"You mind if I play a couple more songs? They said it was too windy, but they can kiss my (expletive)," he said before repeating.

Compare this with Pharrell Williams simply stopped singing towards the end of its windy and dusty set and pointed the microphone towards the audience to sing instead.

Even the greatest acts of diligence as Wanda Jackson, who at age 76 would not be considered strong, held the crowd in the palm of your hand telling stories about legendary musicians such as Elvis Presley and Jack White.

Coachella wins this by a deserted island. Actually there were no guests at Stagecoach except a hologram of Kelly Clarkson (or other players already in the account diligence as when Florida Georgia Line appeared on stage with Luke Bryan). But Williams won the Super Bowl as Coachella with guest Nelly, Gwen Stefani and Jay Z, Usher and TI the weekend two.

Coachella also triumphs in celebrities. Of guest artists like Jay Z, Beyonce and basically everyone on stage Williams non - artists as actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Sure, Stagecoach collected this year as celebrity couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis was famously in attendance, but it just did not seem Stagecoach had the same star power.

While both festivals 'll see on bikini women and members shirtless Stagecoach find those same looks in cowboy boots , cowboy hats (including cowboy hats made of cartons of beer) and the suit of the American flag and Confederation . Coachella is ... uh ... hmmm ... printed pants, tank tops and people wearing Native American headdresses.



I'm not a fan of the Confederate flag or the people who watch non- American with headdress Native American native, so I guess I can say there are two things I like about both festivals.

Coachella has more than 160 acts, while Stagecoach has much less than 100. There are six stages in Coachella ( Coachella Stage , Outdoor Theatre , Gobi , Mojave , Sahara and Yuma ) , and three stages in Stagecoach ( Mane, Palomino and Mustang ).

There are more than these differences obviously (Stagecoach had 177 total arrests while 80 arrests Coachella had its first weekend), but these are just the ones that come immediately to mind.

Either way you look at, with hundreds of thousands of people out of these facts, it seems that everyone wins in the desert when it comes to music festival months.
