A little pre-Thanksgiving treat comes to us from Brian O'Connell, the CMA country promoter of the year and creator of Watershed. He's announced that next summer's festival with now be two weekends. The lead Shedder also informed us that the headlining acts will be the same for both weekends. More details expected after the first of the year, but here are the words from the man himself in a Facebook post off the Watershed official page:

Happy Thanksgiving Week, ‪#‎Shedders‬! I hope this note finds y’all happy and healthy!
In the spirit of the season, here is a little gift from us to you...
‪#‎WATERSHED‬ will expand to TWO WEEKENDS next year, and will feature the SAME HEADLINERS on both weekends!

July 29-31 and Aug. 5-7 are the dates!

The demand for Watershed has exceeded our capacity, as you know, so we thought we would give you plenty of opportunity to enjoy WATERSHED.
We will be the ONLY Country Music and Camping Festival that will span two weekends in the WORLD! #Shedders, you are making history!
We will release all of the information after the First of the year, but as always I wanted to give the loyal #Shedders the heads up.
Have a great Holiday Season, and as always we will be here to help you navigate the process.
