What happened Woodstock 99?

The Woodstock 99 music festival was meant to be a festival of celebrations, happiness and total enjoyment, but it rather turned out to be chaos, destruction, riot, vandalism, sexual assault, looting and other social vices.

The festival venue was completely covered in heavy mud as a result of previous storms, which was the beginning of the calamity. In addition, it was really hot outside, and food and drink were very expensive. Sadly, according to Pitchfork, there were three fatalities over the weekend and 1,200 admissions to local hospitals. In addition, 44 people were detained, there were multiple reports of sexual assault, and on the final night, a Mercedes caught fire, causing a large flame.
