Woodstock’s Michael Lang Seeking Sponsors For 2009 Festival In New York City
“Michael Lang said plans for a 40th anniversary Woodstock concert are “all speculative ideas” for now, but he hopes to bring them to reality this summer.
The Woodstock co-founder told Billboard.com that his vision is “a free event…a very green project,” possibly in New York City. “We want to have as small a carbon imprint as we can and use as many green techniques as we can,” said Lang, who was in Austin as part of a South By Southwest panel discussion about Woodstock. The holdup? “It’s got to be sponsor-driven,” he explained.
“It’s free, but it costs a lot of money. That’s kind of what we’re in the middle of right now. Depending on how successful we are in raising that sponsorship (money) will determine when and how we do this event – or if we do this event, frankly.”
Very much hoping this happens.
