Bethel Woods finalizes Woodstock anniversary weekend lineup

The original Woodstock site has finalized its 50th anniversary weekend concert lineup. John Fogerty announced Wednesday that he will perform with "special guests" at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Sunday, Aug. 18, exactly half a century after he performed at the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair in 1969 with Creedence Clearwater Revival.

 

Woodstock 50 is still up in the air, but at least one Woodstock-related event is going to go on as scheduled.

Woodstock: The Director’s Cut will screen in select theaters nationwide on August 15. Clocking in at three hours and 44 minutes, Woodstock: The Director’s Cut features performances from Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Sly & The Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Santana and more. (Yes, there will be a brief intermission included during the screening.)
