The Watershed Music and Camping Festival will be the first-ever country music festival to host two consecutive weekends, with Jason Aldean, Eric Church and Keith Urban slated to headline the festival both weekends this summer.
With a history of selling out in just minutes, due to the dedicated fans known as ‘Shedders, the fifth annual festival will take place at The Gorge in George, Washington, on July 29-31 and Aug. 5-7. Passes will go on sale Friday (Jan. 29) at 10 a.m. PT on the festival website.
Other confirmed performers for the festival (though not necessarily on both weekends) include: A Thousand Horses, Brothers Osborne, Brett Eldredge, Tyler Farr, Merle Haggard, Neal McCoy, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, David Nail, Jon Pardi, RaeLynn, Travis Tritt and more.
“The ’Shedders and my team know how special Watershed is to me and I can’t believe we’re coming back in only our fifth year for two weekends,” said Brian O’Connell, President of Live Nation Country Touring. “I’m so excited to see first-timers like Jason, Keith and Eric’s reaction when they arrive at The Gorge, as the view is just out of this world, and all the artists and fans getting to experience the truly unique vibe of this festival. ”
The first to be established in Live Nation’s family of premier country music festivals, Watershed was quickly followed by the launch of four other destination festivals: Faster Horses in Brooklyn, Michigan; Route 91 Harvest in Las Vegas; Windy City LakeShake in Chicago; and FarmBorough in New York City.
