The 1999 fest takes a hard swerve away from 1969 Woodstock co-creator Michael Langs vision with a military base locale, profit focus and toxic vibe. “We got off the bus,” Moby recalls in the trailer. Culture critics Wesley Morris, Maureen Callahan, and Steven Hyden are also interviewed, as well as some festival goers. And now there's a documentary called Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage that's all about how and why chaos ensued on that grim July weekend in upstate New York.ĭirected by Garret Price and executive produced by Bill Simmons, Woodstock 99 tells the horrific story of “the day the nineties died.” The festival's organizers Michael Lang and John Scher discuss Woodstock's pitfalls, while artists who performed during the three-day festival, including Korn’s Jonathan Davis, The Roots’ Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter, Jewel, Moby, Creed’s Scott Stapp, and The Offspring, remember their experiences. There were also reports of sexual assault and rape, as well as looting and vandalism. The disgruntled crowd quickly turned violent, at one point setting fires on the festival grounds. Poor planning and intense heat led to one of the most infamous music events in modern history (nothing can beat Fyre Festival). Woodstock 1999 was a complete and utter disaster.
