Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer day somewhere in history

15 August 2026

On 15 August 1969, the notorious WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL
at Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, New York, kicked off.

Approximately 400,000 fans trekked to the three-day event to see acts like
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker,
The Who, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane, among 25 others perform.

Billed as Three Days Of Peace & Music, the festival offered the counterculture
generation a respite, amid the Vietnam War and unrest at home, and would become
a defining moment of the era, as well as an iconic milestone in pop culture history.

The festival would be captured in a documentary
as well as a best-selling soundtrack to the film.
