Wait…Woodstock 50 IS happening???
While it appeared that plans for reviving the Woodstock music festival in celebration of the event’s 50th anniversary were dead on Monday, legal counsel for the organizers are denying reports that the event had been cancelled and released a statement that “confirms” planning for the festival is moving forward.
On Monday, an investor– which was set to foot the bill on the festival –announced that they had officially pulled the plug on funding and that the event was cancelled.
In response, an attorney for Woodstock 50, said in a statement, “This confirms that Woodstock 50 is proceeding with the planning and production of the festival. Dentsu has no legal right or ability to cancel it.”
“The bottom line is, there is going to be a Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival, as there must be, and it’s going to be a blast.”
Artists set to play Woodstock with ties to country music included Miley Cyrus, Brandi Carlile, Anderson East, Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price.
