the success of the inaugural Watershed Festival at the famed Gorge
Amphitheatre last year, O’Connell selected a wide-open field in the
secluded Irish Hills in Michigan for his next country camping festival.
Surrounded by lakes and rolling hills, this area of Michigan is a
summer hot spot, attracting vacationers far and wide. The Faster Horses
Festival is set to be a prime summer event featuring 2 stages, 9
campgrounds, late night jam sessions, food trucks, bonfires and more to
highlight the unique summer lifestyle experience in the area.
who has ever been to this part of Michigan gets how special this place
is,” said O’Connell. “There is so much activity happening in the
summer around those parts that it only made sense to drop a huge country
music festival right in the middle of it. We are definitely continuing
the theme of Watershed with the caliber of talent and laid back country
vibe, but the locations of these two events make each one unique and
different. We have a lot of work to do before July to transform the now
empty field into a huge country event, but it’s gonna be killer.”
