Woodstock ’99 walked so Fyre Fest could stumble. The 1969 festival’s name is synonymous with peace, love and great music. Thirty years later, it was revived for a highly anticipated 30th anniversary, marketed as a millennium-defining celebration. Unlike its predecessor, this one ended in flames, riots and destruction. What went wrong?
The upcoming docuseries Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99 sets out to find the answer. Some blamed the aggressive music of the headlining bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit and Rage Against the Machine; others pointed fingers at the commercial exploitation by festival organizers. Utilizing rare insider footage and eyewitness interviews — including sit-downs with Fatboy Slim, Jewel and more — the docuseries goes behind the scenes to reveal the egos and music that fueled three days of mayhem.
“This documentary series explores the societal, cultural and economic triggers that led to the festival descending into a total clusterfuck,” executive producer Tom Pearson told Netflix. “This is an epic, universal story of nostalgia, hubris, greed and generational schism, told from the point of view of those on the front line.”
Get ready to take a trip down memory lane because Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99 lights up on Aug. 3 — except this ’90s nostalgia is a lot more chaotic.
