Inside the final days of Woodstock50
Seth Hurwitz was on a bike trip riding across Europe when news of his last-ditch effort to save the long-suffering Woodstock 50 festival had leaked out.
The original plan was to keep the discussion quiet, but with so much hype surrounding the festival, it wasn't long before news leaked out. A couple days after the call, a letter to Woodstock 50 investor Greg Peck from Calvin Ball, the 43-year-old county executive for Maryland's Howard County, appeared in Bloomberg indicating that the event would not have the same permitting problems it faced in New York if it came to Maryland.
So instead they quietly waited as organizers endured humiliating court losses and permit denials, moving to new venues and bringing in new producers in a nonstop effort to salvage the event. It was ultimately the leaked news that the festival was trying to move to Maryland — some 350 miles south of Vernon Downs — that proved to be the flashpoint.
With no artists on board and concerns about getting clobbered by a wave of artist cancellations as more bands announced they were pulling out, a statement was drafted and a last request was issued by Lang — the bands paid in full by Dentsu should donate 10 percent of what they were paid to HeadCount, a voter registration effort with a goal of signing up 200,000 registrants before the 2020 election.
