Greta Van Fleet, Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, The Killers, and The Black Keys were the top rock acts set to perform at the Woodstock 50th anniversary festival this month, but sadly it never came to be. Howard Stern trashed the Woodstock 50 festival last week on his show after its cancelation announcement. Robert Plant was called a ‘jerk’ by an A-list star yesterday.
Howard said it’s the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Robin said the 50th celebration isn’t happening. Howard said he hates that they try to recreate that. He said that kids have it too good today. He said there’s no draft so the kids don’t know what it’s like. He said George Takei is coming in shortly. He said he’d like to do a tribute to the real Woodstock.
He said he loves to talk about how not everyone who played there were in the movie. He said it’s incredible how many big stars came out of that movie. He said a bunch of bands said they didn’t want to be in the movie and they blew it. He said being in the movie was the smartest thing they could have done.
Howard said Woodstock was a financial diaster. He said the promoters didn’t have time to finish fencing and things like that. He said tons of people walked in without paying. He said they sold 186,000 seats but then it opened up for free and 400,000 people came. He said the ground turned into mud and it was mess. He said it was all peace and love. Howard Stern played a creepy Kid Rock song on his show last week.
