Dead & Company have confirmed that they will no longer be performing at Woodstock 50. Per Rolling Stone, they join John Fogerty and Jay-Z who have also reportedly withdrawn their participation. 

The announcements follow the festival organizers’ announcement Friday that the festival has released all previously booked artists from their contracts. This basically means that there’s no knowing what the lineup is going to end up looking like. 

More recent Woodstock 50 news includes the organizer’s last-ditch effort to secure a different location for the multi-day anniversary event. After Woodstock 50 had not procured the proper permits to host the concert at the festival’s original location, the production moved to Maryland. 

“Woodstock 50 approached Merriweather about hosting their event here in Columbia, Maryland,” Seth Hurwitz, operator of Merriweather Post Pavilion, said in a statement on Thursday. “The Woodstock folks are working on securing the artists now. If the bands come, we’ll produce the show. We’re looking forward to getting an update as soon as Woodstock 50 has one.”

The festival that’s returning to its hometown of Chicago will be held in Grant Park August 1st through 4th. 

The multiple-day event has a stellar lineup that includes The Strokes and The Chainsmoke on Thursday night followed by Friday featuring Childish Gambino and Tame Impala. Saturday will feature alternative duo Twenty One Pilots, and Latin Pop sensation J Balvin. Finally, Sunday has Ariana Grande and Flume closing out the festival.

And these are just the headliners!

Other performers include Lil Wayne, Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Meek Mill, Hozier, 21 Savage and Death Cab for Cutie, Maggie Rogers, Hayley Kiyoko, 6lack, Gunna, Sheck Wes, Tierra Whack, Japanese Breakfast, Sharon Van Etten, the Revivalists, Gary Clark, and the Conspirators.

Overall the festival will host 170 bands across four stages this year.
