Morgan Wallen’s performance at the Stagecoach Festival was notably absent from the event’s livestream, causing disappointment and frustration among fans. Despite being one of the headline acts at the renowned country music festival, Wallen’s set was not broadcasted online, which differed from previous expectations and practices at similar events like Coachella.
A representative for Wallen explained that the artist is currently working on a “special project” that restricts his participation in livestreams. This explanation, however, did little to quell the discontent among his supporters. Many took to social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to express their dissatisfaction with Amazon Music, which was responsible for the livestream.
Fans pointed out the inconsistency of not streaming one of the festival’s top performers, with one user commenting, “If Coachella can live stream all of their headliners then so can y’all boooo.” The lack of transparency about whose decision it was—Wallen’s or Amazon Music’s—added to the confusion and frustration.
Adding a twist to his Stagecoach appearance, Wallen was joined by Post Malone, and together they debuted their new collaboration, “I Had Some Help,” live on stage. This performance marked one of Wallen’s first major public appearances since his arrest in Nashville earlier in the month, further amplifying fan interest in his Stagecoach set.
