Stagecoach 2026 on Day 2 (April 25) was evacuated due to severe weather, specifically high winds at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The evacuation was issued around 7:46 PM local time and attendees were directed to exit to vehicles or sheltered areas. Reports estimate roughly 75,000–80,000 attendees were affected by the evacuation.[1][2][5]

Some outlets indicated the festival was postponed for that night, with updates via the Stagecoach app and official channels as organizers assessed conditions, and a plan for Day 3 was discussed (with Post Malone headlining) in subsequent coverage. The exact status of Day 2 performances (whether any resumed or were canceled) varied by source and was being clarified in the days that followed.[2][5][1]

Reactions and follow-up reporting focused on the safety response to the wind event, with explanations of why the evacuation happened and notes that weather conditions were forecast to remain elevated before gradually easing. Additional summaries from entertainment outlets emphasize the disruption of specific acts and the large scale of the evacuation operation.[3][5][6]
