Mr Lang hopes the concert would be “a free event” leaving “as small a carbon imprint as we can.” To this end, he is seeking raise $10m in sponsorship money. Mr Lang is hoping the bill will feature such “legacy bands” as Santana, Joe Cocker and Crosby, Stills & Nash. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are also being considered, having headlined the ill-fated event a decade ago. Trouble began at the end of their set when what began as several small bonfires escalated into a number of major infernos. Mr Lang admitted the 1999 concert had “ramifications” but said it had not done “any real damage” to the Woodstock name.
