Cooter Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Not Glasto but worth a big shout on this forum for obvious reasons and definitely worth a listen.

Matt87 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Weren't there plans to host another this year to celebrate 50 years? Obviously never came to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people did try to get a festival going but it ended in multiple lawsuits and infamy.

When Glastonbury was selling tickets for 2019, Woodstock hadn't even sorted its financial partner. Say what you like about whether Glastonbury has changed for the better or worse over the years, at least it still happens Edited August 20, 2019 by Quark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 That Michael Lang lad really has a big miss ratio with festivals. Got away with Woodstock 69, just, was heavily involved in Altamont, did Woodstock 99 which was a disaster and now this shambles in 2019.

Troop Dogg Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I watched the BBC 4 documentary a few days ago. While the music looked pretty good, it just seemed that the whole thing was most likely a pretty awful event to have been at. Not nearly enough food, water, sanitation, place to sleep, terrible sound system, no provision for bad weather. Makes you really appreciate what we have at Glasto.

I've often wondered whether I'd have enjoyed it had I been there. When you look at the crowd shots hardly anyone looks like they're actually having fun. Admittedly most people look absolutely gillespied which is a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that a large proportion of people who complain about Glastonbury and festivals in general being too gentrified or cleaned up would have absolutely HATED the state of Woodstock. Include myself in that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 That said, from what I can work out thousands and thousands of people just parked themselves in front of the stage and didn’t move for five days. They even slept there. The origins of the chair and blanket brigade right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
