Stagecoach 2025: Gelatin roll, creed and the best of day 2

Less than a week after Coachella's conclusion, the Country Stagecoach Festival has attracted another crowd in tens of thousands for the most part of the empire without grass in Indian. The three -day event began on Friday and will run until Sunday night with the Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll and Luke comb posters. I will be here all weekend to bring you ups and downs as they happen. This is what happened on day 2:

An oasis in the desert

“This is officially the biggest show that I have headed in my career,” Jelly Roll said not much in his performance on the main stage, and for him he presented an opportunity to make more than entertain: “I would never have dreamed that God would have brought a child from Tennessee to the southern desert of South California,” added his voice constantly as a shepherd of a shepherd Night, Broad The Broad The Power of Music. ” “.” “.”

Faithful to that framing, the rapper turned into the face turned into Singer made complaining versions of his songs “are of a synner” and “I am not well”, which are based on his history with drugs and jail to tell redemption stories, and brought a real worship leader, Brandon Lake, to sing his Cross Crossver-Music-Music. The established scenario resembled a service station with a neon signal that assured us that Jesus saves: an oasis in the desert, in other words.

The gelatin roll made time for some more earthly pleasures: Bigxthaplug and Wiz Khalifa cameos that reminded you of its hip-hop roots, and an appearance of MGK, who made his pointed aim “my ex the best friend of my ex”. He also took Alex Warren to sing his Gloopy “ordinary” ballad and release a new duo between the two called “Oh my brother.” (Unfortunately, it sounded like imagined dragons).

Jelly Roll finished his set with another moment of mentality of faith, welcoming Lana del Rey to the stage to join him to “Save Me” while the simulated rain fell on the two. Del Rey's feather croon was totally wrong for the song, which requires a quality without shame that is not part of his entire treatment. But Jelly Roll seemed so wide to have her out there that you were inclined, hey, what do you know, to forgive?

With open arms

The great energy of the mega Megachurch on Saturday continued with the set of Creed's night in the Palomino store, where singer Scott Stapp hit a variety of messianic poses while his bandmates set the riffs of the gospel of “one last breath” and “higher”. For the latter, Creed brought the star of the Soul Tori Kelly, only one of the many millennials and zoomers who have kept Creed in the business a quarter of a century after the era of the band's blows.

Did you know that Lana del Rey had kissed with your friend Morgan Wallen, as she said in a song in Stagecoach on Friday night?
She said it? Good for her.

Your girlfriend recently announced that she is pregnant. If you could choose, what would be the first song that your son listens?
“Island in the Sun” from Weezer? I don't know. It is a good atmosphere.

You Posted a photo The other day of you and Bailey Zimmerman dating Billy Bob's in Texas. Bailey is drinking twisted tea. Did you know that twisted tea is a disgusting drink?
Honestly, I don't know what happened that night. We went to a bar, and I think its manager said: “Please, don't go out with Koe.” Once we left the stage, it was a bit of chaos, a kind of dull city. Buying tea, I am not a great admirer of it. But Bailey is young. I remember being so young and drinking it too, I can't hold him against him.

What is an adult drink that has sworn?
I will never drink Rumple Minze.

Last year, Jessie Murph said in Tiktok that some of your fans called her rat for appearing in your song “High Road.” Then he directed them to the solo version that you launched and told them to look for their duis. What is your answer?
She is a bad bitch. Shout him. All those who spoke s …, go to yourself.

You wrote songs for your album “9 Lives” with the composer Amy Allenwho also had a hand in “Short N 'Sweet” by Sabrina Carpenter. Are you in Sabrina's album?
It would be a liar if he said he wasn't there by clinging him. I am a fan of Sabrina.

Are you involved in a flesh with another musician at this time?
I am currently without meat. I think I'm great with everyone. However, if you listen differently to someone else, let me know, we will turn it on for sure.

Last week you Posted a photo of the study. The best new song you have so far, what is it about?
We wrote a song about a serial killer the other day.

What is a tattoo that you regret?
“F— 2020” in my leg. I was super defeat when I got it. I woke up the next morning, I cleaned the blood and said: “Well, that's forever.”

The best cover version is heard so far

Imagine that

Touching Stagecoach as part of a tour behind the “Pasaje du Desir” last year (which he launched under the alter Ego Johnny Blue Skies), Sturgill Simpson and his busy four-piece band offered an hour of moving jams of boogie-rock that evoked the Allman Brothers backed by Booker T. and the Mg. Speaking of covers: in addition to the basic element of the soul of the 60s of William Bell “You do not miss your water,” Simpson interpreted an desired version of, “Fiesta all the time” by Eddie Murphy.

I still agree

Like T-Pain on Friday, Shaboozey completed an Indian Triafecta rare on Saturday, acting on the main stage of Stagecoach after making the two weekends in Coachella. (Maybe that's why he wore three dazzling belts as part of his strong denim suit). The rap creep star sang a moving version of “Knockin 'on Heaven's Door” by Bob Dylan, who called one of her favorite songs of all time; He took Sierra Ferrell to make “Salve María”; And closed, of course, with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, its 2024 success that spent 19 weeks on the top of Billboard's Hot 100 last year. Around the time of the February Grammy Awards, Shaboozey seemed to have tired, reasonably! – “Tipsy” Rootsy Jollity. Here, however, it seemed to belong to the thousands who sang.

A striking visitor

A vivid demonstration of Stagecoach's evolution of the first days of the festival: the appearance of Scott Storch within Diplo's Honkytonk, where the producer and composer was presented by his exhibition of Don Julio-Guzling as the guy who came out with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. The hidden eyes behind his exclusive aviators, Storch assumed a place behind a Korg Kronos synthesizer and played along with a handful of the pop and R&B blows that helped create in the early 2000s, no less than “Cry Me A River” by Justin Timberlake “, before which he broke very dramatically a Cig.

Help me to analyze the timeline in your “Austin” viral success. Did the narrator used to live in Los Angeles, then moved to Austin and now he is talking about returning to Los Angeles?
“Austin” is Nashville, but Nashville had some rhymes, so we changed it to Austin. In the song, I had been in Nashville, Austin, I lived in Los Angeles, and I moved to Nashville. That was the whole story there. And the guy who was talking was in Nashville. Well, Austin.

Hmm. Is it true that things don't rhyme with Nashville?
Cashville? Hashville?

Do you prefer to be 10% smarter or 10% more fun?
More fun. I feel quite intelligent. But also: you must be intelligent to be fun.

Why is it the last thing you used chatgpt?
On today's set, I take out a harmonica and touch it, so we build a harmonic case in my outfit, my guys without ass that hang there. They asked what the dimensions were, and I said: “How would I know?” But Chatgpt will know.

Go back to your angels: Ralphs or vons?
I am more a girl from a Joe merchant.

The most hated highway?
The 10 is terrible.

Do you consider yourself a theater boy?
Yes, a theater, all the way.

Is it the “theater child” derogatory?
People use it as an insult, but I think it is the greatest fulfillment. Before going on stage, everyone in my band and my dancers, I say: “Broadway, boys – Broadway. “I channel my musical-theater self on stage, as if I were playing in a musical-theater production.

What is a musical in which you would like to be but you haven't done it yet?
I'm dying to play Sandy in “Grease”.

How many not read text messages do you have?
823.

Anyone besides you know the access code to your phone?
I think my whole team does it. I have nothing to hide there.
