Just Jack Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) So technically, right now, there is no one lined up to play WS50. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/touring/8523989/woodstock-50-releases-all-artists-lineup-maryland-move-venue Quote Organizers of the Woodstock 50 festival have formally released all artists scheduled to play from their contracts, Billboard has learned. John Fogerty and Jay-Z had already reportedly pulled out of the Aug. 16-18 festival and last night (July 25), reps for the festival and organizer Michael Lang emailed talent agents with bands on the bill and informed them that they would not try to enforce performance contracts for the event. Organizers attempted to move Woodstock 50 to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland after their permit to stage the festival in Vernon, New York had been rejected.

I think Joe McDonald is still alive... he would be rebel enough to do it.

Poleshifter Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 I'm glad it was canceled. If they could not do it justice, they should not use the Woodstock name. I was there 50 years ago. It's pretty cool to have been part of a piece of history. 4 weeks later, I went to the Toronto Rock n Roll Revival, with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and more. The Doors were the big name closing act. On the drive up to TO, the radio said John Lennon, Yoko, and their friend Eric Clapton would play the festival, so that cool as well (aside from Yoko). 1
