Woodstock 1960s



It’s really important for us to know about historical events so I searched and found the most important event that happened since 1969 that called Woodstock.

Woodstock is outdoor music & Art Fair festival held in August 1969. It was a three-day concert (which rolled into a fourth day). The Woodstock Music Festival of 1969 has become an icon of the 1960s hippie counterculture. The tickets were $7.00 a day and there was no violence in the shows. It was planned to hold 100,000 people but 500,000 people showed up. 

The organizers of the Woodstock Festival were four young men: John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, and Mike Lang. The idea morphed into creating a two-day rock concert for 50,000 people with the hope that the concert would raise enough money to pay for the studio.
The four young men then got to work on organizing a large music festival. They found a location for the event up in an industrial park in nearby Wallkill, New York
