History

Historical Context

Woodstock ’94 marked the 25th anniversary of the 1969 festival, drawing an estimated 350,000 fans to Winston Farm, New York, in August 1994. MTV broadcast the three-day event live, and nearly 24 million households purchased the pay-per-view, expanding its audience beyond the site.
