The Gorge takes a ‘hiatus’ from Watershed Music Festival in 2026

After 13 years of offering high-profile and up-and-coming country music artists at The Gorge Amphitheater, Watershed Music Festival has announced it will not host a festival in 2026.

The decision to cancel this year’s festival was posted to Facebook in January, with Watershed Music Festival announcing the event would take a “hiatus” in 2026.

Watershed did not provide any reasoning for its decision to cancel the festival, though it confirmed any future plans would be announced accordingly.

Watershed’s inaugural country music festival was held in 2012, featuring a large main stage for headline acts, campgrounds for overnight festival-goers, and a diverse food truck lineup.
