Woodstock North Music Festival coming to Lansdowne in August 2019

 

The W50 Group is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the original 1969 Woodstock Music Festival north of the border in Ottawa’s Lansdowne Park and TD Place, August 9-11, 2019. The three-day music experience will recreate the retro look and feel of Woodstock from 50 years ago, and feature a line-up of some of the best original and tribute bands. 

“We are thrilled to be Canada’s celebration headquarters for the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock,” said Larry Johnson, Managing Partner of the W50 Group. “We are recreating the Woodstock experience and so we’re encouraging our festies to come dressed up like hippies.”

Cool, have to keep this in mind. I attended a 20th anniversary celebrations put on by Q107. Was just a single day though. 

Richie Havens, Melanie, John Sebastian, Canned Heat, Steppenwolf, Sha Na Na, Iron Butterfly, and a Hendrix impersonator opened but I forget his name.He was pretty entertaining though. I'm sure there's a few others I'm forgetting.

 

Still have my stub too.

It was very dark in the accessible porta-potty.  So I'm not sure that it counts.
