Woodstock 99 

Woodstock 99 was a rock festival held on the Griffis Air Force Base in Rome, New York, USA, starting on Thursday 22 July 1999, and ending 3 days later that Sunday. The event was one of the 3 festivals (alongside Woodstock '94) that attempted to emulate the "peace, love, and music" of the hippie movement more often than not associated with the original Woodstock '69 festival held in Bethel, NY. The festival is universally branded as a dismal failure marred with sexual violence, vandalism, drug trafficking, rioting, and fires. Many famous acts at the festival include Limp Bizkit, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, DMX, Metallica, Kid Rock, Insane Clown Posse, Rage Against the Machine, and The Tragically Hip.

All in all, 44 arrests were made, 2 people (the media loves to say 3 people) died, 4 sexual assaults were identified, and thousands were injured.

Woodstock 99 

The worst concert of all time. Held at Griffis Air Force Base, Rome, NY July 23-25, 1999, it featured top acts at the time such as Limp Bizkit, Korn, Rage Against The Machine, Kid Rock, Jewel, The Dave Matthew Band, all night raves, video game demos and the like. It was infamously known for not allowing attendees to bring in food and subject them to overpriced food and water bottles. On the last night, riots and fires broke out resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage.

"Many a topless woman in the audience at Woodstock 99."
