The original Woodstock showed the world how impactful a single group of people can be for generations to come, and it also demonstrated the true power of peace, love and music by having a lasting effect upon the minds of many Americans. To play tribute to the beautiful people of the first Woodstock, Michael Lang has organized Woodstock 50 to celebrate the 50 years that have passed since the first festival in 1969. Woodstock 50 was designed to mimic the look and feel of the original venue, but due to the sheer volume of people wishing to attend this modern take on the classic festival, the setting is somewhat less intimate than in years past. Crowds of nearly 150,000 people are expected to attend, and there is an all-star lineup of bands that will jam throughout the three days of the festival. Bands such as
The Raconteurs
,
Greta Van Fleet
and
Imagine Dragons
are all planning to perform at Woodstock 50.
Woodstock has always been synonymous with love and peace, and Woodstock 50 will be no different. The generation of free love taught the world the importance of thinking freely. Woodstock 50's founder has also been actively spreading a message that communicates the true value of love and peace, and the event is promoting the interests of almost a dozen charities. It is in this spirit that the people of Woodstock come together. Many will even be returning from the original Woodstock to recall fond memories of the past, but everyone will be expecting the event to be full of entertaining sights and sounds that will leave a lasting impression upon the senses. All of your favorite bands will be there, including
Santana
,
The Killers
and
Cage the Elephant
.
Miley Cyrus
,
Robert Plant
and
Chance the Rapper
will also make appearances at this once-in-a-lifetime event. In the spirit of highlighting diversity in music, there will also be an assortment of lesser known performers who will keep the music rolling constantly throughout the festival. If you are looking for a concert that celebrates peace and love while some of the best bands in the world rock the stage, then you will certainly enjoy Woodstock 50.
Tickets for this event will be in high demand. You can purchase tickets for Woodstock 50 at StubHub.
Woodstock 50 is scheduled to begin on Aug. 16, 2019 and will end on Aug. 18.
As was true of the first three Woodstock events, Woodstock 50 will be hosted in upstate New York near Watkins Glen. The venue will be situated in a wide and open field capable of accommodating a very large crowd.
With so many artists representing almost every genre, Woodstock 50's performances will have something for everyone. Some performances will have the full spectacle of a rock show with energetic musicians onstage playing for thousands of dancing fans. Other artists will have a more laid-back approach, creating intimate environments to sway the hearts of attendees.
While it will be located near the original location of Woodstock, Woodstock 50 will be hosted at a wholly different venue in order to accommodate the large crowds of modern times.
The length of shows at Woodstock 50 will vary depending on the artist performing. Expect headlining acts to play for upwards of two hours while featured musicians may play for about an hour at a time.
