The Woodstock ’99 music festival, 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 to try to imitate the original Woodstock festival from 1969 after Woodstock ’94.
It took place in upstate New York, similar to previous festivals, but 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, there were about 400,000 attendees.
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.
Conflict and unfavourable weather conditions, astronomically high food and water prices, violence, sexual assault, looting, vandalism, and fires all ruined the festival.
