Woodstock 2019 lineup: 50th anniversary concert in works; see rumored performers

A new Woodstock concert is in the works to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original music festival.

"We have definite plans," original Woodstock promoter Michael Lang told the Poughkeepsie Journal this month. "I'm excited."

Lang has not said when or where the event will happen, cautioning that "this is not a done deal yet but it's very close." An official announcement is expected soon, he told the newspaper.

Performers have also not been named, but The Festive Owl, a Twitter account known for leaking festival news, has shared a look at a rumored lineup. Images show a deck seeking sponsorships, saying the event -- tentatively called "Journey On" -- will be held over three days on multiple stages at the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center (near the original Woodstock site).

Artists allegedly approached include Daft Punk, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Phish, The Weeknd, Elton John, Bon Jovi, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Pink, The Who, Santana, Zac Brown Band, Mumford & Sons, and The Chainsmokers (featuring Syracuse University alumnus Drew Taggart). Avicii was also included, but @TheFestiveOwl points out the images were from sponsorship proposals earlier this year, before the superstar DJ's death.

The Festive Owl also points out that none of the artists are confirmed, noting that the lineup slide only provides "potential clients a gist of who they will be targeting."

It's unclear if the artists were approached for the same anniversary event Lang is teasing. Lang told Rolling Stone back in 2014 that he was already starting to think about a Woodstock 50th anniversary concert to be held in Upstate New York sometime in 2019.

Lang was the promoter when an estimated 400,000 people attended the first Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, held in August 1969 at Max Yasgur's dairy farm near White Lake in Bethel, N.Y. Performers included Richie Havens, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Joan Baez, Jimi Hendrix, Arlo Guthrie, Santana, Joe Cocker, the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

The iconic concert was revisited in 1994 with a modern lineup of artists like Nine Inch Nails and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but Woodstock '99 -- held at Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, N.Y. -- ended the fun with riots, fires and allegations of sexual assault.
