Check out all of our photos from Stagecoach 2013.
Best call to the Stagecoach masses
Before Dierks Bentley played “5-1-5-0” he told the crowd it was time to get “5150,” or crazy. Judging by the amount people have been drinking, we are already there. Bentley also pulled double duty, playing an intimate afternoon set to unveil the new Toyota 4Runner. See photos of Dierks Bentley’s sets.
Best dressed
Nick 13 appeared in a seafoam green Nudie suit with black sparkles on it and his logo on the back. He was also the palest man at Stagecoach. Read more about Nick 13 at Stagecoach. See photos of Nick 13 at Stagecoach.
Best quote
Chris Shiflett’s set with the Dead Peasants was full of quips from the stage but the best was when he explained that it was strange to play for a crowd sitting in lawn chairs.
“I feel like I set up at your softball game on your diamond,” he said.

Dude, where are we?
Lady Antebellum, who debuted some new material during their headlining set Saturday night, is confused about which festival we’re at.
“You sound so good Coachella!” Charlie Kelley exclaimed before Hillary Scott reminded him we were at Stagecoach.

Also of note, Dwight Yoakam gave shoutouts to San Bernardino and Coachella during “Streets of Bakersfield.” He may have meant Coachella, the city, which is down the road.
Best festival debut
The Lone Bellow played a set packed full of harmonies and is what it would sound like if Fleetwood Mac and the Black Crowes hung out in Appalachia. it was the band’s first festival. I am claiming them for Coachella 2014, too. Plus, they’re from Brooklyn, which is way more Coachella than Stagecoach. More about The Lone Bellow at Stagecoach.

Most literal performance
Phil Vassar covered Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” He plays the piano. He also took requests from the audience. See photos of Phil Vassar at Stagecoach.
Best sounding sick person
Dwight Yoakam’s set at the Palomino Stage had some sound issues, but it wasn’t him, even though the told the crowd he had been ill all week. See photos of Dwight Yoakam st Stagecoach.
Legend award
Marty Stuart played a rip-roaring set in the Mustang Stage Saturday afternoon that included country rock, bluegrass and even some gospel. And his hair is amazing.
Biggest star
The Sun. Yeah, it was 102 degrees Saturday and should be just as hot Sunday. Stay hydrated. Ashton Kutcher gets a nod as well for being a celebrity getting into it with security, according to TMZ.
