Billboard is reporting that Woodstock’s 50th anniversary festival will no longer be happening. The festival was initially set for mid-August, but due to production issues, the shows must be cancelled.
“As a result and after careful consideration, Dentsu Aegis Network’s Amplifi Live, a partner of Woodstock 50, has decided to cancel the festival. As difficult as it is, we believe this is the most prudent decision for all parties involved,” as per the statement issued to Billboard.

The festival lineup was pretty stacked with headliners including The Killers, Dead and Co., and Jay-Z. Other notable artists that were suppose to be featured during the show were Miley Cyrus, Chance The Rapper, The Black Keys, Halsey, Earl Sweatshirt, Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges, Run The Jewels, and many more.
The festival representatives were concerned about capacity issues with the venue. No tickets were sold in advance due to the problems with setting up the logistics of the whole event.
As of now, the entire festival is dead. A lot of money has been put into getting performers to sign onto the show, so there may be something else that comes from this news. If more information comes to the front, we will provide an update accordingly.
