Woodstock ’99 (also called Woodstock 1999) was a music festival held from July 22 to July 25, 1999, in Rome, New York. After Woodstock ’94, it was the second large-scale music festival that attempted to emulate the original 1969 Woodstock festival. Like the previous festivals, it was held in upstate New York, this time at the former Griffiss Air Force Base, roughly one hundred miles (160 km) from the site of the original Woodstock. The attendance was approximately 400,000 over four days. The cable network MTV covered the festival extensively, and live coverage was available on pay-per-view. Westwood One held its radio rights.Excerpts were released on CD and DVD. The festival was marred by difficult environmental conditions, violence, sexual assault, looting, vandalism, and fires.
