Woodstock 50th anniversary fest being plannedFebruary 13, 2016 - 16:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Plans are being made for a 50th anniversary of Woodstock Festival, which was the crowning achievement of the 1960s counterculture generation, Gigwise said. News of the event has emerged after Michael Lang, the co-creator of the festival in 1969 and co-promoter of the two sequels in 1994 and 1999, let it slip to Poughkeepsie Journal. He said that "potential partners and different locations are being explored" for an event in 2019. A festival outside of the US is also possible. Lang also said an annual Woodstock festival could happen beyond the 50th anniversary. Speaking about how the time is right, Lang added: “[Woodstock] is the original and most famous festival brand.” He continued, “With the prevalence of festivals out there, and all the excitement about them, maybe it’s time for that,” referring to an annual concert driven by the Woodstock name. The most recent Woodstock, in 1999, saw performances by the likes of Rage Against The Machine, James Brown, and George Clinton. 1994 saw Crosby Still, & Nash, Cypress Hill, Aerosmith, and Metalllica. Whilst any new Woodstock festival will never capture that magic of that unique moment in the Summer of Love, the line up will be a big draw in the upcoming event, providing it all goes to plan and happens.
