WOODSTOCK 1999
Woodstock 1999 was supposed to be a thirtieth anniversary celebration of the original Woodstock 1969 festival. It was held between July 22nd and July 25th, 1999 but 200 miles away from Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, NY in Rome, NY instead.

The 2019 event has been plagued by disorganization, but may also be struggling because of the legacy of a related Central New York festival that happened 20 years ago this week: Woodstock ’99.
