Eagles to Play Stagecoach Festival

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Eagles will headline a newly added third day of the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this spring in Indio, Calif.

The group — Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit — will perform material from their latest album "Long Road Out of Eden," as well as classic songs from their 30-plus year career, festival officials said Wednesday.

The Eagles will play May 2 along with John Fogerty, Trisha Yearwood, Shelby Lynne, Glen Campbell and Rissi Palmer.

The festival's previously announced lineup for May 3-4 includes Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones, Earl Scruggs and a reunion by The Judds.

In all, more than 50 acts will perform on four stages over the three days.

The Eagles are fresh off a Grammy win (best country performance by a duo or group) for "How Long," the lead single from "Long Road Out of Eden." The song reached No. 23 on the country chart. The band also performed at the Country Music Association awards in November.
