Now that’s planning ahead. Two hundred days out, Stagecoach – Coachella’s country cousin – has announced the lineup for its 2015 festival, with Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton headlining the three-day foray at the Empire Polo Club in Indio on April 24, 25 and 26.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday; weekend passes cost $269, with VIP wristbands priced at $799. Various camping options are available as well.

It should be an interesting lead-up to the festival, considering all the tabloid-y things going around about the supposedly troubled Lambert-Shelton marriage. But it’s country music, right?

The rest of the bill includes the legendary Merle Haggard, along with George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Sturgill Simpson, ZZ Top, Gregg Allamn, the Handsome Family, and Steve Earle.
