Coachella Valley Loves Its Country Music

The Coachella Valley has always been known as the home of Stagecoach, the largest country music festival in the western United States. But over the past few years, the Coachella Valley has stepped out as a home for country music & its artists. A large part of the growth in country music throughout the Coachella Valley, has to do with the influence of our local casinos. Agua Caliente, Fantasy Springs & Spotlight 29 have all showcased their facilities by hosting a number of country artists.

Here is a brief rundown of the local facilities and the artists that have performed at the venue:

Agua Caliente: Located in Rancho Mirage, The Show at Agua Caliente is a 2100 seat venue, which boasts some of the latest lighting and videography, in the valley. The Show has been host to several country artists, including Dustin Lynch, Randy Houser & Old Dominion. Check out AguaCalienteCasinos.com for upcoming shows and room reservations.

Fantasy Springs: The Special Events Center is located in Indio, and has hosted concerts and world championship boxing. Country artists which have performed include, Chris Young, Old Dominion, Gary Allen and Brooks & Dunn. Fantasy Springs LIT Lounge, located inside the casino, also hosts Country Nights, with DJ Big John Miller. Check out FantasySpringsResort.com for room availability and entertainment info.

Spotlight 29: The latest venue to host country music artists is located in the city of Coachella, at Spotlight 29 Casino, Coachella Crossroads. Coachella Crossroads is a 50 Acre outdoor entertainment complex located adjacent to Spotlight 29 Casino. It is developed by The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians and this Veteran’s Day, will host a concert, “Salute to Our Troops” with Blake Shelton as the headliner. Spotlight 29 also has a showroom inside the casino. The Showroom seats 2,200 that has featured headliners such as Justin Moore, Montgomery Gentry and Big & Rich.Acrisure Arena: Another venue, that was recently completed, is Acrisure Arena, a brand new 11,000 seat venue. The arena is home to The Coachella Valley Firebirds hockey team and will host a number of concerts, including the great Shania Twain.

The number of venues that are hosting country music artists, has increased in the past several years, but Stagecoach is still the most popular country music event held in the Coachella Valley. Fortunately with the amount of country music concerts being held throughout the year, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from, while we wait for April to come around.
