Officials from Dentsu Aegis Network, one of the festival’s main investors, announced Monday that Woodstock 50, which was set to take place in August, has been cancelled. The festival was slated to be hosted in Watkins Glen, N.Y.. Prior to the cancellation, The Black Keys, one of the festival headliners, had backed out due to scheduling conflicts. Ticket sales had also already been postponed from the original launch date of April 22. According to a Billboard article published Monday, “reps for the festival say concerns about the capacity of the festival, site readiness and permitting issues led to the cancellation of the commemorative event.”This post will be updated.
