Coffee Break: Woodstock '94

August 14, 2024
It’s officially been 30 years since Woodstock ’94. The event celebrated the 25th anniversary of the original festival, which was held in 1969. The reboot is often called “Mudstock” due to the rainy weather and the resulting “mud people” taking over the event. Festivalgoers were covered in mud after the rains and hurled handfuls of mud at different bands, making it a weekend to remember.
Woodstock ‘94 was billed as “2 More Days of Peace and Music,” and featured a stellar lineup that included Sheryl Crow, Cypress Hill, Metallica, Green Day, Blues Traveler, and Violent Femmes. There were even some performers from the original Woodstock who took the stage in ’94: Santana, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Joe Cocker, and more all got in on the fun. Today, let’s celebrate this celebration of Woodstock with music!
