LOS ANGELES - A planned three-day concert event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival was canceled on Monday by the lead investor, saying it was unable to ensure the health and safety of artists and fans.
“Despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don’t believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees,” investors Dentsu Aegis Network, a unit of Japanese company Dentsu Inc, said in a statement.
Michael Lang, the co-producer of the 1969 Woodstock festival, announced in January that the official 50th anniversary Woodstock Music and Arts Fair would take place in August at the Watkins Glen motor racing venue with more than 80 musical acts taking part.
