"Watershed is so special to me personally, and I feel that the "'Shedders" are part of a huge extended family," said Brian O'Connell President of Live Nation Country Touring.
"We try as hard as we can to continue to improve on one of the greatest experiences I have had the privilege to be involved with in my career, and this year will be no different. 2015's lineup is loaded, and I am particularly excited to have Dierks back this year since he was there with us at the very first Watershed. It'll be fun to show him around again and see how far we've come. I cannot wait until July 31."
Passes for the three-day music and camping festival go on sale March 3 at 10 a.m. Pacific at www.watershedfest.com.
Watershed will also host a second stage becoming a "Next From Nashville" stage, showcasing emerging country acts. This stage will also host Watershed's "Late Night" set, which will return with Sam Hunt playing the special Friday night slot in addition to his main stage appearance.
