(NEW YORK) - Relating to earlier briefs, two concerts celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Woodstock festival, "Woodstock 1999 _ One World," will take place next year in Europe and the U.S. Michael Lang, who produced the original event along with partners Joel Rosenman and John Roberts, says his company Woodstock Ventures has secured a site outside of Vienna. "Austria is in the center of the continent," he says, "and we want to make this event very available to [Eastern Europeans]." John Scher, CEO of Metropolitan Entertainment, a partner in the project, says four sites in upstate New York are being considered. "It won't necessarily be in Saugerties, N.Y., where the last one was held," he adds. Woodstock Ventures and Metropolitan also produced Woodstock '94. In addition, Scher says the show may be held during the last week in July or first week in August because of weather patterns that indicate a strong likelihood of rain the second and third weekends of August. It rained heavily at the original Woodstock and Woodstock '94. (Billboard Bulletin)
