Watkins Glen withdraws permit for Woodstock anniversary concert

 

Each passing day without a firm on-sale ticketing date has made it seem more unlikely that the Woodstock 50 event Michael Lang had planned for Watkins Glen this summer would actually take place. The proposed anniversary festival lost its financial backer a few weeks ago. It gained a new one since, but permits remained pending. Today, Watkins Glen International announced that the site license permit it had issued to Lang for the August 16-18 event has been withdrawn in accordance with provisions in the contract and the site will not host the festival.
No reply was offered by Lang since this was announced, but it seems odds that his event will take place this summer are now much less favorable.
