Woodstock 50 Music Festival Officially Canceled

Woodstock 50 Music Festival Officially Canceled

Woodstock 50 has been canceled after many artists pulled out of the music festival.

Vendors and stakeholders were notified that the festival was not moving forward on Wednesday morning (July 31).

“The unfortunate dispute with our financial partner and the resulting legal proceedings set us off course at a critical juncture, throwing a wrench in our plans and forcing us to find an alternate venue to Watkins Glen,” Greg Peck told TMZ.

He continued, “The timing meant we had few choices where our artists would be able to perform. We worked hard to find a way to produce a proper tribute—and some great artists came aboard over the last week to support Woodstock 50—but time simply ran short.”

The news comes just a day after Miley Cyrus dropped out of the fest, joining The Lumineers, Jay Z, John Fogerty, Dead & Company and original headliners John Sebastian and Country Joe McDonald.

The festival was originally set to take place at Merriweather Post Pavilion outside of Baltimore between August 16 and August 18 but has faced backlash because of venue switches and confusingly vague details.
