History

Historical Context

The 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair on a 600-acre Bethel farm drew nearly half a million fans for 32 performances between August 15-18, establishing the template for massive outdoor concerts. That model informs today’s tours, such as Noah Kahan’s 2026 Great Divide Tour at Phoenix’s Chase Field, where surprise guest spots echo Woodstock’s spontaneous collaborations.
