Description

Before there was Fyre Festival there was Woodstock 99. The festival took place from July 23-25, 1999 in Rome, New York. Though it was intended to be a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival, it ended up being anything but. It turned out to be the hottest weekend of the year, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees.The festival grounds were designed to hold 50,000 people, but over 200,000 showed up. There were long lines for water and bathrooms, and the prices for food and merchandise were sky-high. And to make matters worse, there were reports of sexual assault and harassment throughout the weekend- in this episode we examine Woodstock ‘99 what went right, what went Korn, and what went wrong.
