Is Woodstock50 about to make its last stand?
"the Japanese have a lot of pride and are careful with their image" weren't seen as helping the festival that's now in survival mode after an inspector in Vernon, New York, denied an application to stage the anniversary festival Aug. 16-18.that the event has finally gotten its act together. Woodstock 50 apparently has new investors and has gotten about 25 acts from the original festival lineup committed to perform, a claimhas not independently verified.
Before an accounting of past vendors can be undertaken, the festival now has to confront the permit denial issue, which is an existential threat from a festival brand that seems to constantly face existential threats. Tomorrow, organizers will refile their application for a temporary event permit after city officials denied the permit without comment or opportunity, other than saying it was incomplete and filed too late.
Less than 24 hours later the permit application was denied, and "political forces," as one source described them, were now working against the event and Vernon Down's billlionaire owner . If they lose the appeal, organizers might be able to sue the town and show it broke the law, although Woodstock's record in court is 0-3 and the festival might run out of time before they could get a judge to sign off on a plan to stage a festival against the city's wishes. Kevin Revere.
What happens next is anyone's guess and there will be plenty of people trying to tell their side of the story because there's something special about the Woodstock brand that the people working on the festival now want to protect. Maybe Lang will end his self-imposed silence and speak out. After all, if the appeal fails and his team is forced to give up, there won't be anyone to stop him.
