Brandi Carlile will no longer be performing at the 2022 Stagecoach Festival after contracting COVID-19, as she revealed on social media.
“Hey buddies, it finally happened: I have the COVID. I won’t be able to come to Stagecoach,” the Grammy-award winning entertainer shared. “It’s horrible.”
In her video, Carlile also shared her symptoms, explaining that she is suffering from a chest infection due to the virus. “I’m a few days in, and I have a chest infection, but I think I turned a corner today and I’m starting to feel a little bit better,” she adds. “I just want to let everybody know that I’m devastated to be missing you, and I hope that you have a wonderful time out there with all my freakin’ friends. See you on the other side of this trash.”

Carlile was slated to headline the festival’s Palomino Stage on Friday (April 29). However, in light of these events, Tanya Tucker will now be taking over Carlile’s 7:40 performance slot. Amythyst Kiah, The Cactus Blossoms, Charley Crockett, Neal McCoy and the Marcus King Band will perform on the Palomino Stage earlier in the day.
Taking place this weekend in Indio, California, the T-Mobile Mane Stage will deliver a packed opening day with performances from Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Jordan Davis, Ryan Hurd and more. Carrie Underwood, Brothers Osborne, Luke Combs and Cody Johnson will also be on hand for the weekend’s festivities.
