Unannounced "surprise" guest - SC2011

[Rose]

Rumor on facebook is that there is a surprise HUGE guest for SC11.

Any thoughts?

[SPKemo]

Lady Gaga?

[travis_b89]

taylor swift?

[SPKemo]

GARTH!!!!!! Yea right, I wish.

[unclefeiny]

probably zac brown band as they're going on tour with kenny

[SPKemo]

probably zac brown band as they're going on tour with kenny

ZBB makes the most sense.

[webwevers101]

George Strait would be nice!

[trose_az]

Billy Currington or Uncle Kracker would be AWESOME!!!!!

[travis_b89]

GARTH!!!!!! Yea right, I wish.

i think everyone there wishes .... he would be best to close down saturday night....... but i also think dean brody would be amazing to see and if you dont know who he is check him out on you tube i think he is the best artist to come out in quite awhile

[travis_b89]

also i think luke bryn doing his spring break show would be fun to see

[Rose]

I hope they add a few people to replace the drop-outs.

As a "guest" you gotta think...for Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis. For Kenny Chesney, Uncle Cracker etc...

Josh Turner could get that American Idol dude that sounds just like him.

[Janell24]

Uncle Kracker

[Janell24]

I hope its not Justin bebier

[gaypalmsprings]

Kanye West

[dunefreak91910]

Billy Currington is in San Diego Saturday night and Phoenix Sunday so it won't be him. I could see ZBB. I would think suprise guest would be a walk-on for one or two songs.

[mrodriguezpre]

Josh Turner could get that American Idol dude that sounds just like him.

omg i love scotty! i only watch for him and change it after. i really hope we seem him break into country soon!

i heard they were going to add someone too but idk who could do it on a last minute. zbb sounds like its possible since theyre touring with kenny. i actually prefer them over kenny. heres hoping!!!

[angiemarie123]

Duets with West and Swift....lol


Kanye West

[angiemarie123]

They should add someone big, with all the ones dropping...

[festivalfan]

probably zac brown band as they're going on tour with kenny

Yup.. that's my guess too. This makes me very happy.. but I wish I was up in the VIP section !

[Raquellita]

probably zac brown band as they're going on tour with kenny

I say let's take bets that Unclefeiny is right!! I have a whole quarter that I can bet.

[travis_b89]

Yup.. that's my guess too. This makes me very happy.. but I wish I was up in the VIP section !

VIP is not special at all i have VIP for coachella and i was further away then where i ended up at .... the reserved section is closer

[reising22]

I would really hope for Kid rock! Everyone was hoping he would play as a headliner and we were all dissapointed when he didn't...or they could add the Eagles like they did a few years ago!

[Chevgirl357]

I would really hope for Kid rock! Everyone was hoping he would play as a headliner and we were all dissapointed when he didn't...or they could add the Eagles like they did a few years ago!

Most of the artists mentioned I've already seen, and would love to see some artists I've never seen. That being said, I've seen Kid Rock twice, and would still LOOOOOVE to see him again at SC11!!!!

[reising22]

I know I have never seen him...did you buy tickets to his born free concert in July? I really want to go but tickets are spendy.

[mrodriguezpre]

kid rock really did a great job a couple years ago at sc. i think he even did better than kenny.

but i hate getting my hopes up about who "might" be there just in case no one gets added :(

[angiemarie123]

I would really hope for Kid rock! Everyone was hoping he would play as a headliner and we were all dissapointed when he didn't...or they could add the Eagles like they did a few years ago!

They won't add the Eagles without a steep price....

[reising22]

They won't add the Eagles without a steep price....

I thought they did 2 years ago they added them on Friday night?

[kerrstyn]

I have looked everywhere to see who dropped out, but the only one I know about is L.L. Are there others?

[unclefeiny]

I have looked everywhere to see who dropped out, but the only one I know about is L.L. Are there others?

Steel Magnolia

[gaypalmsprings]

Cowboy Troy

[angiemarie123]

I thought they did 2 years ago they added them on Friday night?

Yes they did add the Eagles, but they added a price to the tickets to attend Friday night too. I can't remember what it was exactly, but I think it was $199 to VIP tix, just for Friday night. It may have been higher. But I didn't want people sitting in my VIP seats Friday night and I love the Eagles so I paid it.

[Lizzy]

The rumor i heard @ work this week was that Reba is going to be at Stagecoach

[Janell24]

kellie pickler would be good

[dunefreak91910]

Reba is in North Carolina for a show Friday night with nothing on her schedule for Saturday or Sunday then off until the end of July so it is a maybe. Would love to see her.

[travis_b89]

kellie pickler would be good


kellie picker was awesome i saw her twice now... and you would get a L.L. cover from her most likely atleast she did last time i saw her but that dosent really make up for the real thing

[mrodriguezpre]

Cowboy Troy

oh man my boyfriend would LOVE that!

cowboy troy and the rest of them music mafia will be at the fair in September

[tlf2008]

Do u mean LA county fair?

[mrodriguezpre]

Do u mean LA county fair?

yah. la county fair

[reising22]

OMG!!!! I would die if Reba showed up I love her!!! I tried to see her in Laughlin and the show was sold out :(

[Miss B]

Steel Magnolia

[Rose]

are you sure? they still have it posted on their website tour dates..

They took them off the Stagecoach poster and they Finally took off Loretta Lynn :mad:

[reising22]

I am so bummed I was really looking forward to Steal Magnolia's that sucks but if they did replace either of them with Reba I would be a very happy girl!!!

[travis_b89]

who started this by saying there is a surprise act? cause i dont see anything on FB or the SC website about it other than this

[mrodriguezpre]

this lady named "shelley wallace" started it on fb. she said she heard on the radio and now the rumor has spread like wild fire lol. who knows if shes right...

it was posted Wednesday (4/20) at 1:04 pm and then took off from there...

its all just speculation but it is pretty funny how much interest its attracted lol!

[Rose]

who started this by saying there is a surprise act? cause i dont see anything on FB or the SC website about it other than this

It is clearly marked on the thread who started it. I did.

These rumors happen every year. It's fun. It hopefully also tells Goldenvoice who we want to see so they can book them for next year.

Uncle Cracker was a "surprise guest" for Kenny Chesney at SC 09
Cowboy Troy and two foot Fred was a "surprise guest" for Big & Rich at SC08

[SPKemo]

are you sure? they still have it posted on their website tour dates..

[dunefreak91910]

Was Kris Kristofferson on there before (he is now)? I don't remember him being on it and I see Steel Magnolia is back on the poster as of right now.

[Rose]

[dunefreak91910]

Only off by 30 days. :D

[reising22]

Kris Kristoferson and KD Lang...Really they are not even country??? WTH?

[koalababy]

Uncle Kracker was a suprise few years ago with Kenny......we could only pray for Garth......my friend Bonnie would be in heave with ZBB. Please don't insult us country folk with the likes of Kanye West - talk about someone needing rehab peeeeeee U LOL. Just wish Scotty would learn to hold the mic a little better LOL but wowwwww he's sweet!!!......Good group on Idol this year but I'm missing Paul already hahahahah!

[The Ancient]

Kris Kristoferson and KD Lang...Really they are not even country??? WTH?

You're kidding about Kris Kristoferson right? I mean...he's one of the Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristoferson).

[Raquellita]

Nope, I'm not kidding. I got an e-mail:
Hi ya'll!

Stagecoach is almost here. If you haven't purchased your tickets yet we highly suggest doing so.

Be on the look out for an email from us next week with the set times!

Kris Kristofferson has been added to the line up!

We've got some sad news. Regrettably, Loretta Lynn will not be able to perform. She injured her knee and is under doctor's orders to stay off it for several weeks.

BRING THE KIDS
We're family-friendly so bring the whole gang. Children 10 & under are free! We'll have wood-working and leather-crafting projects, blacksmithing & gold-panning as well as our annual favorites including the petting zoo, western roping, prairie spinning and rawhide games. Prizes presented by the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

[abra]

Kris Kristoferson and KD Lang...Really they are not even country??? WTH?

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Maybe it's just old folks like me who were schooled on the indelible mark made by KK on country music? He's definitely worthy of being THE surprise guest.

[Janell24]

Uncle Kracker was a suprise in 07 the first year.

[koalababy]

Please note that KK got his start in country and camped on Johnny Cash's lawn to get his songs recorded by Johnny......................and folks KD Lang started in country, too.......the woman has a fantastic voice!! PS...KK was there the first year, too.....with Willie!!

[SPKemo]

KD Lang...Really they are not even country??? WTH?

KD Lang is country


Singing at country and western venues in Canada, lang made several recordings that received very positive reviews and earned a 1985 Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist. She accepted the award wearing a wedding dress and made numerous tongue-in-cheek promises about what she would and would not do in the future, thus fulfilling the title of "Most Promising." She has won eight Juno Awards.

In 1986, she signed a contract with an American record producer in Nashville, Tennessee, and received critical acclaim for her 1987 album, Angel with a Lariat, which was produced by Dave Edmunds.

Lang's career received a huge boost when Roy Orbison chose her to record a duet of his standard, "Crying," a collaboration that won them the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1989. The song was used in the Jon Cryer film Hiding Out released in 1987. Due to the success of the song, lang was awarded Entertainer of the Year award from the Canadian Country Music Association. Lang would win the same award for the next three years, in addition to two Female Vocalist of the Year awards in 1988 and 1989.

[abra]

PS...KK was there the first year, too.....with Willie!!

Wow, now that's a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. How did I miss that???

[festivalfan]

Rumor has it... it was "announced " on XM radio this morning that ZBB will be on stage with Kenny. And there some chatter on the SC Facebook page....

I wonder....

[travis_b89]

zbb is good so its not a dissapointment ... would be great if uncle kracker came out and they did good to be me, love that song

[festivalfan]

zbb is good so its not a dissapointment ... would be great if uncle kracker came out and they did good to be me, love that song

I would be thrilled to see ZBB, again !!! love them !!

[travis_b89]

i jut like to wait a few tours give them time to change before seeing them again .. thats just me i guess

[mrodriguezpre]

Do you think the "unannounced guest" will be on the line up hopefully coming out tomorrow or do you think we wont know until they show up on stage?

[festivalfan]

Do you think the "unannounced guest" will be on the line up hopefully coming out tomorrow or do you think we wont know until they show up on stage?

good question! it's not confirmed, we just heard the xm radio promo...

how fun to have them just appear on stage !

[dunefreak91910]

I already have tickets to see ZBB May 15 in San Diego, but would love to see them at Stagecoach, as well!

[abra]

IMO - if ZBB was gonna be there, wouldn't they be hypin it up big time?? i don't think that kind of calibur is used as a hidden incentive - it's used as a HEADLINE. I'm betting it's going to be a walk-on, one time person, who has a duet or something... Maybe Steven Tyler's gonna show up and do Walk This Way with Carrie? = ) LOL

im not going to lie... i thought that duet was kick ass!

[abra]

Oh I loved it!!!! I'm tellin' ya... that girl kicks ass on the hard stuff. She did a version of GNR Paradise City that blew me away.

[dunefreak91910]

I am not even going to propose that rumor of Steven Tyler with my gf. She named her son after him. She loves him that much!

[bigdog22]

but it makes sense, since he is traveling with Kenny..... Fri in San Jose and Sunday in Phoenix...... so it is right on his way down interstate 5, to the 10 East to Phoenix........ hell, it's like stoppin' in for Dinner at the Truck Stop

[Rose]

ZBB or Steven Tyler or Vince Gill would be great surpise guests. Who else has had a duet recently

[festivalfan]

Now that would be one heck of a performance!!!... hmmm, can someone call Steven Tyler and ask if he's available??

[dunefreak91910]

Call me crazy but I don't think that Kenny is still at the level of a tour bus so I don't think they will be carpooling. :) ZBB might still be on a bus between "close enough" venues.

[MaryAnnB]

I am new to Stagecoach and when I registered to participate in the forums the "administrator" who activated my account at 12:39 pm today responded to my question about set line ups and that they "will be posted later this evening".

[dunefreak91910]

Nevermind, Kenny has a big enough plane for them both. Found this online, look at the tail number.

http://www.stagecoachfestival.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1438&stc=1&d=1303863843

[bigdog22]

Nope gonna pull a Tim McGraw.... if I remember right back in 08, there was a lear jet that kind flew over the Polo Grounds about an hour or so before Tim finally hit the stage..... there was some scuttle and maybe he said something on stage about a flyover.... he was a little "happy" ya know... anyone else remember or was I halucinating..... sure ol' Kenny Boy will be doing the G4 shuffle from SJ.....

[MaryAnnB]

I'm new to Stagecoach and when I was checking to get my account activated I asked, and the forum "administrator" said "the line ups/sets should be posted later this evening".

[bigdog22]

Ohh ZB is used to flyin on Kenny's jet.... here is a press clipping back from 2009...

We also caught up backstage with the Zac Brown Band, who told Press correspondent Lorilee Craker how their flight out of Denver was canceled Friday and how they called up superstar Kenny Chesney, who let the guys use his jet.

“We were gonna charter a jet, but it’s stupid expensive to do that,” said Zac Brown, “so we called up Kenny … and he hooked it up to bring all the guys here.”

[Rose]

Welcome Mary AnnB. Thanks for the info. I figured the line-up would be posted tomorrow.

[unclefeiny]

I'm still holding out hope for Rebecca Black!

[sorensonszoo]

I just heard on XM Radio that the Zac Brown Band will be at Stagecoach. Did anyone else hear this?

[Nayastar]

I'm still holding out hope for Rebecca Black!

Oh dear God, NOOOO! Lol :D

Now that rediculous song is in my head, ugh!

[travis_b89]

[abra]

Well shut my mouth and paint me red! :eek: Right on!!!!! Love me some ZBB!! Maybe he'll bring the cookout rigs and set em up in the BBQ lanes.

[Tropical-Cowgirl]

Yes,
Kenny has a tour bus...., I was in it least time he was at SC

[mrodriguezpre]

What XM radio was the announcement heard on??? any one know???

[dunefreak91910]

I would think Kenny is like a NASCAR Cup driver, flys into the venue and has a coach there for his use while on-site.

[bigdog22]

[abra]

Good point!! As ZBB says "Gotta let it go!"... and just know it's gonna be a kick ass weekend from start to finish no matter what!! :D I think we just get caught up in obsessing over everything in, around, and about Stagecoach right now when it's this close!!! :p

[bigdog22]

So true, we are all just caged animals, sitting at work with our minds 100 miles away in Indio (damn, how often can you say that with a straight face) wishing it was RIGHT NOW, so we sit on this darn message board instead of working.... uuugh, tomorrow is gonna suck.... watching the clock all morning until BAM.... outa here early afternoon and on the road..... gotta be set up in camp ASAP.... Laker Game tomorrow night and the grills and coolers need to be in place and rollin by then !

[travis_b89]

I have on good authority it's...... Non of the above

[mrodriguezpre]

[koalababy]

[unclefeiny]

I would not have guessed you would be on toofab.com ^^^^

Blake Shelton posted it on twitter...at least that's the story I'm going with

[webwevers101]

I'm sure the stories will be flying after this weekend for everyone!

[mrodriguezpre]

http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/brown_zac__band/tour_dates.jhtml

[mrodriguezpre]

someone just posted this on the stagecoach face book page. mtv is pretty legit....

[bigdog22]

Hoping its true, but that mtv site is all jacked up, it is missing a bunch of their dates when you compare to ZBB's official page...... but gonna be sweet if true

[mrodriguezpre]

true but the fact that its listed somewhere means they must have been scheduled at some point...

it just seems like it would get them in huge trouble to list a show that isnt confirmed...

[webwevers101]

Really hope its true, now if the time would just move along!

[TUFF1972]

My buddy that is friends with Uncle Kracker ssid he will be at Stage Coach Saturday night. He will be flying over from Bakersfield ( Buck Owens Crystal Palace).

[bigdog22]

Uncle Kracker with Kenny..... here we go....

[pjwells]

If you go to the MTV website it shows Zac Brown Band scheduled for Sat Night.

[angeg]

Kfrog websites shows them playing too..

[Rose]

Thats the great thing about so cal. Somebody knows somebody who is in the know. We got you beat Kevin Bacon, no need for 6 degrees :eek: :D

[agadd]

If you go to the MTV website it shows Zac Brown Band scheduled for Sat Night.

[Janell24]

Maybe its Grace Potter

[countrygirl10000]

OMG, Uncle Kracker and Zac Brown Bnd?!!!

[Cannonball Run]

Playing on top of my rig tonight..... !

[TUFF1972]

Sorry my friend is a flake. Im texting him as i type. Hes with kracker in san jose. Looks like a no show for kracker. Still trying to get confirmation.

[ant8er]

My wife and I had to sell our tickets last month because my cousin got married that weekend. As if missing Stagecoach wasn't bad enough, these rumors that ZBB was going to perform really bummed her out. Can anyone confirm that ZBB did perform this year, or does she have a glimmer of hope that she'll see ZBB next year? Thanks.

[webwevers101]

No, they did not perform this year, maybe next year! Lets get ready for 2012!

[Rose]

No surprise guest this year or any duets. grrrrr But it was fun playing the guessing game.

They're playing at the hollywood bowl on May 14th....

[ant8er]

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately for her I'm having my 35th birthday party that day. I'm thinking about getting tickets for their Chula Vista concert on the 15th. Thanks for the heads up, tho.

Stagecoach 2012.... I already told my family: I don't care who is getting married or buried, I am NOT missing it 2 years in a row.

[Janell24]

the suprise guest were David Spade and the others from the video for Rascal Flatts.

[abra]

"married or buried"... that's good!! LOL Couldn't have said it better myself. :p I'd love to see ZBB back at SC. Will keep my fingers crossed for 2012 too!

[countrygirl10000]

Unfortunately, ZBB was not there! In fact, many of my favs were not there this year.

[festivalfan]

Unfortunately, ZBB was not there! In fact, many of my favs were not there this year.

Not sure what happened about that whole ZBB thing.. but remember if your fav's weren't on the line up for 2011, there's always 2012 to look forward to.
