In 1999, a music festival took place in upstate New York that became a social experiment. There were riots, looting, and numerous assaults. And it was set to a soundtrack of the era’s most aggressive rock bands. Incredibly, it was the third iteration of Woodstock, a festival known for peace, love, and hippie idealism. But Woodstock ’99 revealed some hard truths behind the myths of the 1960s, and the danger that nostalgia can engender.

mardi 4 mars 2025 • Duration 33:27

It’s the one thing people think they know about Woodstock 99 — Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit encouraged shirtless hooligans to “break stuff.” But is it possible that Limp Bizkit shoulders too much of the blame for the riots, violence, and mayhem at this misbegotten festival? It’s time to break down the band’s notorious performance like the nu-metal Zapruder film.

A group of friends from Connecticut took a road trip to Woodstock 99 in search of music, adventure, and a great party.

The first official day of Woodstock 99 included performances by bands such as Korn, The Offspring, and Insane Clown Posse, who remember the festival as a harmless, but crazy experience.

mardi 18 mars 2025 • Duration 33:00

Woodstock's Willy Wonka

Season 1 · Episode 2

mardi 11 mars 2025 • Duration 34:51

No one person embodies the Woodstock brand more than Michael Lang, the cherubic-faced concert promoter who came to fame as one of the stars of Michael Wadleigh’s 1970 documentary Woodstock. He’s also a symbol of how the counterculture has been commodified as a reliable cash cow selling hippie nostalgia. It’s time to separate fact from mythology, and explore how the original Woodstock was in many ways as troubled as Woodstock 99.
