Woodstock 40th Anniversary Maybe? Hopefully?

Co-founder of the legendary Woodstock Festival, Michael Lang was talking up quite the storm at this years 'SxSW Festival' where he spoke out about the possibility of a 40th Anniversary concert.

Though Lang explained that at the moment he was seeking funding, he still laid down a lot of facts and names of what he would like to see and who he would want to play.

The Festival would be set in New York, would be free of charge and as environmentally friendly as possible. Speaking to Billboard, the man spoke about the entire event that could possibly - hopefully - play out this summer:

"We want to have as small a carbon imprint as we can and use as many green techniques as we can. There would be a lot of legacy bands performing - The Who, Santana, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joe Cocker maybe. And it would be people like Steve Earle and Ben Harper. There's certainly room for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dave Matthews...That would be the shape of the music."

In 1999, there was a 30th Anniversary Festival that caused a lot of controversy due to many violent outbursts during sets from Limb Bizkit and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Four people were said to have been raped at the event as well. Lang is confident that the 1999 event hasn't tarnished the perfection that was Woodstock 1969, stating:

"I think it always hearkens back to the '69 event, somehow, when people think of Woodstock they don't think '99 or '94. They think  of the '69 event. I think 1999 has its ramifications, but I don't think it did any real damage in that sense."

The 1969 Woodstock had legendary sets from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Creedance Clearwater Revival and The Who.  Fingers crossed that we get to see at least one more Woodstock in our time.
