A music festival dubbed Woodstock ’99, commonly known as Woodstock 1999, took place in Rome, New York, from July 22 to July 25, 1999. It was the second sizable music festival after Woodstock ’94 to try to imitate the original Woodstock festival from 1969. Similar to other festivals, it took place in upstate New York, this time at the old Griffiss Air Force Base, about 100 miles (160 km) from the original Woodstock location. Over the course of four days, almost 400,000 people attended. The festival was prominently covered by the cable network MTV, and pay-per-view live coverage was offered. Its radio rights were held by Westwood One. There were DVD and CD releases of excerpts.
