What anniversary did Woodstock 1994 commemorate?

Woodstock 1994 commemorated the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival.

The anniversary concert took place in August 1994 at Winston Farm in Saugerties, New York, roughly 100 miles from the 1969 festival site near Bethel. Its organizers marketed it as “2 More Days of Peace and Music,” echoing Woodstock’s famous countercultural identity.

The lineup combined performers associated with the 1960s and newer alternative, rock, hip-hop, and metal acts. Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joe Cocker, Bob Dylan, and The Band connected the event to the original era, while artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, and Cypress Hill represented later generations.

Woodstock 1994 was also known for heavy rain and extensive mud. That weather produced memorable crowd scenes, but the event was generally regarded as more orderly than Woodstock 1999 five years later. It attracted hundreds of thousands of people across its multi-day program.
