This three-day event to be held in Watkins Glen, New York is separate from one slated for the same weekend at the first festival's site, about 185 kilometers away.
With a lineup that includes everything from hip hop to country with more than 80 artists, Woodstock 50 lives up to vows of widespread appeal, featuring a diverse billing of artists including rapper Common, rockers The Black Keys, pop futurist Janelle Monae and folk-rock troubadour Brandi Carlile.
"See ya in Aug! Performing on Friday , so I have all weekend to party!" tweeted pop star Miley Cyrus. The 73-year-old Fogerty, frontman of the legendary rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, also tweeted his delight:"Come join me on my 50 Year Trip at Woodstock 50!"
