Despite a spokesperson saying the Woodstock 50 festival has been canceled, organizers for the 2019 festival say this is false and the concert will be held.
But organizers for the 2019 Woodstock festival say this is false and the concert will be held.
"Woodstock 50 vehemently denies the festival's cancellation and legal remedy will sought," a statement from Woodstock 50 said.“It’s a dream for agencies to work with iconic brands and to be associated with meaningful movements. We have a strong history of producing experiences that bring people together around common interests and causes which is why we chose to be a part of the Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival.
Considered the crowning achievement of the 1960s counterculture, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair Aug. 15-18, 1969 attracted hundreds of thousands of people to Bethel in Sullivan County. Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Richie Havens and Janis Joplin were among the performers at the festival, which took place against the backdrop of 1960s turmoil.
Woodstock 50 is being produced under license from Woodstock Ventures, which was founded by Lang, Joel Rosenman and the late John Roberts. Those three, along with Artie Kornfeld, produced the 1969 Woodstock festival. Kornfeld will be rejoining the team for Woodstock 50. News that Woodstock 50 is possibly canceled is the latest wrinkle in Lang's plans to mark the golden anniversary of perhaps the most famous concert ever.
