BETHEL, N.Y. (AP) — A three-day music festival will be held in August 2019 at the original Woodstock concert site to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic event.

The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, a concert venue built on the original Woodstock site, announced Thursday that it will host the golden anniversary event Aug. 16-18.

The center says performers will include “prominent and emerging artists spanning multiple genres and decades.” The venue says talks by “leading futurists and retro-tech experts” will also be featured.

Beth Woods says the names of performers and speakers will be announced soon.

The Woodstock Music and Arts Fair held Aug. 15-17, 1969 drew more than 400,000 people to Max Yasgur’s farm in the Sullivan County town of Bethel, 85 miles (137 kilometers) northwest of New York City.

I don't follow the music scene today, not sure I'd even like the venue for the coming festival. But maybe attending this coming one would be really cool. We have a bit less than 8 months to think about it. I ain't dead yet and it would certainly be an memorable adventure - good or bad.

At this point I am considering attending - make up for one of those lost times in my life. After the war I did come home as a hippy.

Let's see.... a quarter million, to 400,000 thousand, geriatric teenagers,
attempting to relive their haydays, in the middle of summer, in a big field....

WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THAT....

Missed the first one, but when I heard the preacher at church downing the event I knew I had missed something good! Maybe I can make this one, if I could just remember where I stashed my Geritol.

Naw, I'm thinking more like:

Hydration stations, oxygen tent, nitroglycerin tent, insulin/orange juice tent, defibrillator tent,
The local ambulance company is going to really rack up....

Bring your Medicare card....

They'll be a special tent set-aside for any personal aids, that may need a break....

I'm so sorry....
It's NYE, I'm PUI....
