The music festival Woodstock in 1969 was the first of its kind in the rock world, having some of the biggest acts play 24 hours per day over the course of several days.
It’s also known as one of the biggest boondoggles ever.
The incessant rain made the ground a muddy mess. The number of people who attended was much higher than anticipated, so facilities, such as port-a-potties and food stalls, were inadequate. It was totally unsustainable. The musicians had to deal with a collapsing stage and poorly grounded electrics, making them yelp whenever they touched their microphones.
