A three-day music festival will take place in August 2019 at the original Woodstock concert site to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic event.
The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, a concert venue built on the original Woodstock site, announced on Thursday that
it will host the golden anniversary event from August 16 to 18.
The center states that the artists will include “prominent and emerging artists spanning multiple genres and decades.” The venue says that lectures by “leading futurists and retrotech experts” will also be featured.
Bethel Woods claims that the names of the artists and speakers will be announced soon.
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held from August 15 to 17, 1969, attracted over 400,000 people to Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, Sullivan County, 85 miles northwest of New York City.
