Woodstock 1999, held July 23-25, 1999 was the second music festival, after Woodstock '94, that attempted to emulate the success of the original Woodstock Festival of 1969. Like the previous concerts with the same name, it was held in upstate New York, this time in Rome, New York. Live coverage of the entire weekend was available on pay-per-view and excerpts from the performances were later released on compact disk and DVD.
Woodstock '99 is best remembered for reports of violence, molestation, and ultimately the fires that closed down the show.
In 1999, for the 30th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival, organizers planned the three-day Woodstock '99 music festival in an abandoned air force base in Rome, New York. Thousands of people came to the festival. Performers such as Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit performed at the festival. However, all was not peace and love. Bad conditions and inflating prices for water led to riots and looting on the last night of the festival. Written by Anonymous
