Woodstock 50 will now be a free event in Maryland, according to a new report.
TMZ reports the 2019 Woodstock festival, now scheduled for Aug. 16-18 at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, Maryland, will release tickets “in the coming days free of charge.” A limited number of seats will be available for the outdoor amphitheater, which can hold up to 32,000 people total; details are expected to be announced by the end of the week.
“Sources familiar with the event” tell TMZ the three-day festival will now be billed as a benefit concert, encouraging attendees to donate to charitable causes. Performances may also be livestreamed online.
However, it’s unclear how much of the Woodstock 50 lineup will still perform. All of the 80-plus artists booked have been paid in advance, but do not have to perform at the new site.

ReplyDeleteCan't go back. Will never be the same. I didn't go to Woodstock - busy earning a living in California but was of the same age group. I felt as a teenager then that is was really stupid.
ReplyDeleteFree tickets and a smattering of Rap/Hip-hop artists on the bill?
