Nashville,
TN – Feb. 29, 2016 – Established only five short years ago, Watershed
Music And Camping Festival has received a nomination for ACM “Festival
Of The Year” for the second year in a row. It was recently announced
that Watershed would be the first-ever country music festival to host
two consecutive weekends and the first weekend has already sold-out in
advance. Superstars Jason Aldean, Eric Church and Keith Urban are slated
to headline the festival both weekends (July 29-31 and Aug. 5-7) as
well as Brett Eldredge, Merle Haggard, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves,
David Nail, RaeLynn and more set to join the eclectic lineup.
Heralded by
Country Weekly, Entertainment Weekly and
Rolling Stone as
a “must-see” summer festival and juxtaposed against the world’s most
stunning and ethereal backdrop of the Columbia River, Watershed takes
place at The Gorge, WA which has also been dubbed by many who have
visited as “Heaven’s Amphitheater.” A truly magical setting, fans
(otherwise known as ‘Shedders) return each year in their thousands to
experience the unique vibe of Watershed including the many fringe
activities on offer such as themed campsites, spirited late-night sets
and amusement rides with jaw-dropping views of the festival site. To

“What
we have built with Watershed in just a few short years is mind-blowing
to me and to be nominated for an ACM for a second year in a row is
beyond humbling” said Brian O’Connell, President of Live Nation Country
Touring. “Our ’Shedders caught on pretty quickly with Watershed that
this was something special, and their unwavering passion led to us
making a big step this year hosting two weekends in a row. It’s exciting
that even more people will be able to see what we’ve created way out
there in the most amazing setting in the world!”
