BETHEL, N.Y. (AP) - A performing arts and music center on the original Woodstock concert site will open July 1 with a performance by the New York Philharmonic.
The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts also announced it will host a two-day Woodstock anniversary concert the weekend of Aug. 12-13. No artists have been lined up for that show.
The 4,800-seat summer pavilion is up the hill from the stage that drew some 400,000 fans in August 1969 to listen to the likes of The Who and Janis Joplin. In the '90s, portions of the old farm 80 miles northwest of New York City were bought by local millionaire Alan Gerry, who created a not-for-profit foundation to operate a performance site.
