Long-running country music event, Watershed Festival, has announced it will take a hiatus in 2026, joining a growing list of festivals opting to pause this year.
The festival, which took place at the picturesque The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, shared the unfortunate news with fans on social media, confirming that Watershed will not return in 2026.
“After 13 incredible years of country music and community at The Gorge, we wanted to be the first to let you know that Watershed will be taking a hiatus in 2026,” the statement read. “Any future plans will be announced accordingly.”
Watershed Music Festival ran for 13 years and hosted a wide range of country superstars throughout its run, including Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Dierks Bentley, Bailey Zimmerman, Luke Bryan, Old Dominion, and many more.
This marks a growing trend among country music festivals, following the cancellation of Faster Horses Festival in 2025. At the time, Faster Horses reassured fans, stating, “We are taking the year to make plans for a bigger and better Faster Horses for our fans who deserve the absolute best.”
As of now, Faster Horses has yet to announce plans for a 2026 return.
Meanwhile, the newly launched Iron Hills Country Music Festival was canceled before it ever took place in 2025, citing “rising costs and lower-than-expected ticket sales.” The Field & Stream Music Fest, originally scheduled for 2024 and 2025, was also ultimately scrapped, with refunds issued to ticketholders. Organizers pointed to “circumstances beyond our control” as the reason for the cancellation.
These events join Country Jam Colorado, which announced a pause for 2026 in order to “re-evaluate and plan for the future.”
Not every festival is facing uncertainty. Country Thunder recently announced its first-ever beachfront festival, while events like Barefoot Country Music Festival, Stagecoach, Tortuga Music Festival, and others have already revealed star-packed lineups for 2026.
Whether the country music festival market is becoming oversaturated or other factors are at play remains to be seen. Either way, the pauses and cancellations mark a disappointing loss for country music fans.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is know for her bubbly personality and her fondness for good times.
But in a new video she shared on TikTok, the Jersey Shore star revealed that she’s currently in the midst of a very dark time.
Through tears, Snooki shared that she’s endured some very “uncomfortable” medical procedures in recent months after receiving “abnormal” results on a pap smear.
Snooki shares frightening news with fans
Snooki says she underwent several tests, including a colposcopy and a biopsy. The tests revealed the presence of precancerous cells, and she’ll need to undergo further testing.
“Results come back. Doctor calls me and he’s like, ‘Not looking great.’ He found cancerous cells on the top of my cervix,” Snooki said in the video below.
“I’m terrified. It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about,” she continued, adding:
“Obviously I’m done having kids but, as a woman, the thought of getting a hysterectomy is just sad and scary.
“Getting the hysterectomy and then not being able to have kids, I think that’s what’s killing me.”
“But whatever to keep me healthy and safe to be here for my kids that I have now,” she added.
Snooki’s message to fans: don’t make my mistake
Snooki then admitted to making a common mistake — namely, avoiding doctors’ appointments because she feared receiving bad news.
“The reason why my doctor’s on my ass all the time is because I waited,” she said.
“I waited on my damn appointments because I knew I might not get great results but also because I didn’t want to feel the pain. I didn’t want to deal with the stress of having to deal with all of this,” Snooki continued, adding:
“Just making this video to spread awareness to make sure you get your pap smears.
“And if your doctor calls you to do it again, do it. Make sure you’re fine and prevent all the bad things that could happen, like cervical cancer.”
Snooki ended the video on a hopeful, stating that she expects to make a full recovery.
“Being a woman is not easy and this is definitely a scary thing. I know I’m going to be fine. It’s just scary,” she said.
“Ladies we are in this together,” Snooki captioned the post.
Snooki has been married to Jionni LaValle since 2014. They have three children together: Lorenzo, 13, Giovanna, 11, and Angelo, 6.
We wish her all the best as she faces the challenges ahead.
