Woodstock

The very first WOODSTOCK was 56 years ago

Despite this, founder Michael Lang insists he's "committed" and "not stopping" preparations for the festival.

Santana, John Fogerty and David Crosby, all of whom played the original Woodstock, will perform at this summer's 50th anniversary event.

First acts confirmed for Bethel Woods Music and Culture Festival.

Michael Lang said more than 40 acts will celebrate in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

Ironic festival had been experienced eight months earlier by a crowd that was "half a million strong," as the song goes.
