Woodstock 50 organizers announce a new financial partnership with Oppenheimer & Co. following legal issues with their initial partner.
Following a lawsuit against Dentsu Aegis Network, Woodstock 50 earned a restraining order and continued to plan for their landmark event. Despite rumors of cancelation spread by Dentsu Aegis Network, Woodstock 50 plans to go forward with their new financial partnership.
“We are thrilled to be onboard for this incredible weekend of music and social engagement. We believe in Woodstock as an important American cultural icon and look forward to its regeneration in the green fields of Watkins Glen this August with all of the artists on the
remarkable lineup,” says John Tonelli, head of Debt Capital Markets & Syndication at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. in an official statement.
Woodstock 50 boasts a lineup of artists of all genres, furthering the festivals founding principles of art and peace. Performers include Jay Z, The Killers, Miley Cyrus, and Janelle Monae.

“We’ve lined up artists who won’t just entertain, but will remind the world that music has the
power to bring people together, to heal, to move us to action and to tell the stories of a
generation,” said Michael Lang, co-founder, and producer of the 1969 and 2019 Woodstock
festivals.
“We look forward to putting on an incredible festival. Words cannot express how
appreciative Woodstock 50, the artists, the fans and the community are to Oppenheimer
for joining with us to make W50 a reality.”
Woodstock 50 tickets open for public purchase on a later date.
