LOS ANGELES - Rap superstar Jay-Z has pulled out of the troubled Woodstock 50 music festival that is supposed to take place next month, a person with knowledge of the matter said on Friday.
The person requested anonymity and did not say why Jay-Z had canceled his involvement. But organizers have had difficulties securing a venue for the Aug. 16 to 18 festival and lost a financial backer, raising doubts about whether it will happen. Tickets have not yet gone on sale. Woodstock 50 had been scheduled to take place at a motor racing venue in Watkins Glen, New York, but the site pulled out in June. Organizers then attempted to seek a permit in Vernon, New York.
it'll never not be weird to see those two names in the same headline, but now I need that collab to happen🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think they should call anything Woodstock! There was only one Woodstock! Come up with your own name please!
Lol
Seems natural considering the rumors it was already cancelled.
No big
Maybe not another fire festival.
Not the first time either has pulled out....🤷♂️
I don’t know who that other guy is, but John Fogerty sounds a lot like Creedence Clearwater Revival. They should sue him. 😏
