Noeline Hofmann joined him for a serene duet of their 2024 collaboration “Purple Gas,” followed by “If She Wants a Cowboy” and “American Nights.” Willow Avalon also joined him for the song “I Remember Everything” towards the end of the set, followed by the song “Nine Ball” and “Hey Driver."

The first day of Stagecoach certainly kicked off the festival weekend with a bang, especially when Zach Bryan capped that Friday night with an electrifying 30-song set full of favorites, deep cuts and a few surprises.
