These words belong to Michael Lang, co-founder Woodstock Music and Arts Festival days ago who also had to confirm the change of venue since the concert was originally scheduled to be held in Watkins Glen (New York) and then he went on to Merriweather Post Pavilion (Maryland, Columbia).
As for the grid prepared for this 50 anniversary, artists who were to be part of the new Woodstock were The Killers, Santana, Dead & Company, John Fogerty y Jay-Z. But nevertheless, none of them had confirmed their attendance. Another drawback was the distance between the original site and the recent, change was not included in the contracts of artists.
