Fieri, widely known for hosting the television series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, will once again host his popular smokehouse experience during the three-day festival scheduled for April 24–26 at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio.

The cooking showcase has become a signature feature of Stagecoach, blending barbecue demonstrations with appearances from artists performing at the festival. Throughout the weekend, Fieri will team up with well-known pitmasters and musical guests while preparing barbecue for festivalgoers.

The smokehouse area typically includes seating, food service and a bar where visitors can watch the cooking demonstrations while interacting with performers from the lineup.

Several musicians have already been announced as participants in the culinary sessions alongside Fieri. On Friday, performers Nate Smith, Chase Rice and BigXthaPlug are expected to join the chef.

Saturday’s lineup includes Gavin Rossdale of the band Bush, country artist Gavin Adcock, actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton, and country music legend Wynonna Judd.

The final day of the event will feature appearances by Wyatt Flores and Brett Young as they join the chef during the cooking demonstrations.

Fieri said the smokehouse event will again highlight top barbecue talent while offering fans a unique way to connect with artists outside of the main stage performances.

Festival organizers have not yet released the exact schedule for the cooking sessions or guest appearance times, but more details are expected closer to the event date.

Stagecoach is one of the largest country music festivals in the United States and draws thousands of fans each year to the Coachella Valley for a weekend of live music, food and entertainment.
