Also on the bill are Dead and Company, John Fogerty, Santana, John Sebastien, Country Joe-Mcdonald, Canned Heat and Hot Tuna, who all performed at the historic 1969 festival.
The event takes place on 16th-18th August, the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock.

“It’ll be hip-hop and rock and some pop and some of the legacy bands from the original festival… I want it to be multi-generational. Woodstock 94′ was a nice mix of young and old and that’s kind of what we’re going for here.”
