For Korean rock fans, America's Woodstock has always been the ultimate dream festival. But now they can also get a chance to enjoy Woodstock festival in Korea. Artie Kornfeld, the father of the original Woodstock festival, will revive it at Korea’s DMZ Peace Park in Paju to spread its anti-war spirit and peace messages to the world for three days from Aug. 6.
Kornfeld announced the first 11 acts of the festival on Jul. 1 at a press conference in Seoul, which included world famous rock group Santana, popular LA metal band Skid Row, Simple Plan, Nobody Lives Forever, as well as Ray Anzarek & Robby Krieger of The Doors. The second line-up will be announced in the near future, which will include 5 overseas and 30 Korean groups, according to the festival organizer.
