Stagecoach 2025 Day Three Best Moments: Luke Combs, Midland, Backstreet Boys & More

The best moments from Stagecoach Sunday's third and final day of the festival, including Luke Combs, Midland and the Backstreet Boys.

The group is celebrating 10 years since their debut EP, Come May, and gave a deep dive into their canon of songs, including “Three Car Garage,” and their first song to be certified Gold by the RIAA, “A Life Where We Work Out.” They also offered the fiddle-driven “Stompin’ Grounds,” swinging from that into a fleet-fingered version of the gospel classic “I’ll Fly Away.” Being from The Lone Star State, they also nodded to the lasting influence of George Strait, performing a rendition of Strait’s “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.” The outfit’s polished, laid-back sound was a perfect vibe as the sun began to set on the final day of Stagecoach 2025. Then came the most unpredictable guest(s) of the day: Joel and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte, who he brought out to perform their 2003 pop-punk smash “The Anthem.” It was surreal to hear one of the biggest and most mainstream stars in country music sing about being “just a minor threat,” but Combs was clearly having so much fun that the enthusiasm became infectious. As the Backstreet Boys neared the climax of their own officially weekend-closing performance at the Palomino Stage, the familiar strains of the guitar intro to “I Want It That Way” started to play — but were then met with the unfamiliar sound of Combs asking if he was your fire and one desire.
