Country fans from all over the country gathered in Indio, California this past weekend for Stagecoach Festival. The annual festival drew 80,000 attendees and featured a lineup of some of the biggest names in country music, including Eric Church, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, and more.
Stagecoach partnered with Amazon Prime Video to stream the performances live for those who could not attend the event in person. However, on Sunday (April 28), fans noticed that a major name was missing from the livestream lineup.
Morgan Wallen, the headliner on Sunday night and arguably one of the most highly anticipated artists of the weekend, was inexplicably absent from the broadcast.

Viewers were quick to express their distaste online, noting that Wallen was the only headliner from the three-day festival that was not streamed.
SHAME ON @amazon @amazonmusic for not STREAMING THE DAY 3 HEADLINER AT STAGECOACH! WE WANT MORGAN! #stagecoach2024 #morganwallen

Why is @MorganWallen the ONLY artist (across the 3 days) that is NOT being live-streamed by @PrimeVideo ???

Hey @Stagecoach so you’re not going to have @MorganWallen who is your main Headliner today on Livestream?
Guarantee that decision came from @PrimeVideo / @amazonmusic but can you please explain why?
Debating if I should even watch now…#stagecoach2024 #wheresmorgan pic.twitter.com/NSje7qyRM1

Neither Stagecoach nor Amazon Prime Video has commented on the situation or provided an explanation for the omission. Of course, as speculation circulates, fans wonder if it has anything to do with Wallen’s April 8th arrest in Downtown Nashville.
Even though his set was not streamed, Stagecoach did share a highlight reel of Morgan Wallen’s performance after the fact. Check it out below!
