Woodstock festival begins in New York, which would be a disaster

25

years ago

22 July 1999,

The Woodstock festival begins in New York, which would be a disaster. 220,000 people met in four days. 30 years later, they wanted to repeat the success of the first edition of 1969, which became history. From an organisational point of view, however, clear intentions to earn money led to serious organisational errors.

It was in full heat wave in a shaded military base; after banning the entry of water from the outside, every day they sold more water, garbage and drugs overflowed; women reported many rapes and dozens of sexual assaults... On the night of its end, rabid participants burned everything they captured.
