Woodstock ‘09 In the Works To Celebrate 40th Anniversary of 1969 Festival
Suosnivač Woodstocka Michael Lang ima ambiciju da prikupi novac i organizuje bar jedan događaj kojim bi se obeležila 40. godišnjica najpoznatijeg hippie festivala.
Ideja je da karte budu besplatne, i da čovekova okolina pretrpi što manje stresa na proslavi jubileja, na kojoj bi, prema Langu, nastupili The Who, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joan Baez...
"Možda Joe Cocker", rekao je on Billboardu.
"A bili bi tu i ljudi poput Stevea Earlea i Bena Harpera. Svakako, ima mesta za Chili Pepperse i Davea Matthewsa."
Od originalnog Woodstocka iz 1969. održan je niz "repriza", uključujući Woodstock 1999, zapamćen prvenstveno po tuči i silovanjima.
"Woodstock ‘09, if it comes to be, would be the first big festival under the Woodstock moniker since the ‘99 weekend. That three-day event became more infamous for its unruly crowds than the actual music and helped negate the whole “peace & love” spirit of the original festival thanks to a weekend’s worth of violence and looting. Artists like Insane Clown Posse, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit were accused of inciting the crowd, leading to bonfires and melee in what in retrospect is regarded as a disaster."

Osim u Njujorku, Lang bi voleo da organizuje proslavu i u Berlinu.
