Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Jason Isbell to Headline New Palomino Festival in Pasadena
variety.comChris Willman Music WriterFor years, the Stagecoach Festival in Indio has had a side stage, dubbed the Palomino tent, that is a virtual festival-within-a-festival, focusing on alternative country, Americana and heritage country acts, “cred” artists that tend to draw a largely different audience than the larger one that stays at the mainstream main stage all day.
This summer, Goldenvoice is branching off that approach into a one-day gathering of its own — the Palomino Festival — set to go down for the first time July 9 in Pasadena.Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson & Family and Jason Isbell are newly announced as the headliners for the inaugural event, which will take place at Brookside at the Rose Bowl, a park adjacent to the storied stadium that Goldenvoice has used for a number of other genre-specific festivals in the last decade.
Others on the bill include a couple of current nominees in the Grammys’ American roots categories, Valerie June and Amythyst Kiah, plus Orville Peck, Old Crow Medicine Show, the Turnpike Troubadours, Sierra Ferrell, Morgan Wade, Charley Crockett, Paul Cauthen, Langhorne Slim, Sierra Hull, Low Cut Connie, Logan Ledger and Ian Noe.
Nikki Lane, who curates a retail village at Stagecoach each year, will also be performing. The Compton Cowboys, a troupe that carries on a history of cowboy culture in that mostly Black city, are set to be featured as well.General admission for the single-day event begins at $199 plus fees, and VIP passes will start at $399.
