Woodstock 50 Lineup

[48thStreetCustom]

Sad that this even has the “Woodstock” name attached to it

Here’s a real festival y’all.

Anyone care to guess the dude to chick ratio at this festival?

You’d be suprised. They’ve been doing Carolina rebellion annually here for almost a decade now. And this festival replaced that. Lot of women actually. Not all women are Miley Cyrus fans

In my opinion, this new "Woodstock" event is really no different than a trashy, modern movie sequel being made for a classic movie that came out decades prior. It ends up getting a lot of hype, but in the end you wish they'd just left the original alone.

That's great, then!

 

[Rojd]

Very little on that lineup I'm interested in. Sturghill Simpson would be good.

 

[Dr_Benway]

So many feels here...

 

[ONYX]

Only one act listed that I'd actually pay money to see.

 

[bassdude51]

Ahh, I wonder if it'll free again? NOT!

 

[RissKippery]

Mixed bills. Camaraderie through music or different kinds. People discovering bands or artists they otherwise may have never heard. I'm down with all of that.

Because Woodstock was a rock and folk festival with live musicians. They should stay true to their roots. There are plenty of other festivals where people can see hip-hop if they want.

Actually, the original Woodstock was advertised as An Aquarian Exposition and 3 Days of Peace and Music. Not much mention of Rock 'n Roll there. It was a festival featuring popular music of the day, including acts such as Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Ravi Shankar (not very R 'n Roll) plus rock bands like Mountain, Ten Years After, Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who and more. If the original Woodstock taught us anything, it was to be open minded to all forms of music, and to all people too. By the way, were you even alive for the first Woodstock? Did you go? Is that why you're so passionate about this discussion?

3 bands a day that I would even want to see and you know it's going to be an expensive hipster fest

Yup. Less than 1/3 of the original lineup was Rock. It was more about ‘community’, the music was secondary.

"And More" must have a great booking agent...they're scheduled to play all three days.

We have toyed with the Band name "And Many Others"

Man, the original was just a lining up of the planets that produced a historical event.

It's a shame people have been trying to recapture that day and/or cash in on it ever since.

What, you don't think the original promoters were trying to make as much money as they could?

 

[tubedude]

I'm not sure what's worse, the bad brown acid, or having to listen to Smily Myrus.
Pardon my musical taste.

 

[HolmeBass]

I’d pay $$ not to go.

Sure, glad to help, PM and I’ll send you my PayPal info. For $30 I will personally guarantee that you will not be going.

So if the hip-hop artists perform with a live band then that’s ok? I am pretty sure Jay-Z has a backing band.

 

[5StringBlues]

Woodstock was NOT originally a free concert. 18 dollars for three days. It became a free concert after hundreds of thousands more people than expected showed up.



Imagine if they tried to do that today.

 

[obimark]

I’d pay $$ not to go.

"get off my lawn" but there are only about 3-4 bands on that list that I have even heard of. (Granted most of them aren't bands at all like Chance the Rapper)
