Everybody relax, Woodstock 50 is still happening.
Tickets for the event were meant to go on sale on Friday (April 19) only the ticket sales were postponed without any reason being given. This led some people to believe that the festival would no longer be going ahead and rumors consequently began to circulate.
An email sent out from the festival to ticket providers said: “There is currently a hold on the Woodstock 50 on-sale date. We are waiting on an official press statement from Woodstock 50 regarding updated [announcements], ticket pricing, and overall festival information. We will get this information to you as soon as we receive it.”
The festival will see some of the biggest names in music playing in NYC. After the disaster that was Fyre Festival, it’s no surprise that people have learned to be a little skeptical of festivals that seem too good to be true.
Fortunately, though, the festival will still be going ahead. Festival Michael Lang confirmed that the rumors were false to Billboard. He said: “Woodstock is a phenomenon that for fifty years has drawn attention to its principles and also the rumors that can be attached to that attention.”
So everyone can relax. The festival of the year is still going ahead.
