With the news of Woodstock 50's cancellation, I'd like to point out the uncanny foresight of Ithaca Times readers in this week's poll. #twithacapic.twitter.com/tfEx6Nyzr9
Woodstock 50 was meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original 1969 Woodstock with three days of peace, love, and musichttps://twitter.com/wtam1100/status/1122908940533104642 …
Is Woodstock 50 canceled? Dentsu, the primary investor, just said that it is: "We don’t believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock brand."But Michael Lang, the promoter (and original Woodstock dude) said it is not. Story TK.

Despite a spokesperson saying the Woodstock 50 festival has been canceled, organizers for the 2019 festival say this is false and the concert will be held.https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2019/04/29/woodstock-50-cancellation-argument/3617355002/ …
UPDATE: Woodstock 50 organizers insist that the festival has not been cancelled and that Dentsu Aegis Network spoke out of turn. "Woodstock 50 vehemently denies the festival's cancellation and legal remedy will (be) sought," they said in a statement.https://www.thefader.com/2019/04/29/woodstock-50-cancelled-jay-z-chance-the-rapper-halsey-myley-cyrus?utm_source=tftw …

I think the first and fatal mistake about #Woodstock50 (@woodstockfest) is putting contemporary artists before legends..

Let's just rebrand Woodstock 50 as "Upstate Fyre Festival" and be done with it.
