The man responsible for organising the original Woodstock has expressed hopes of organising a 50th anniversary installment of the festival in 2019.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Michael Lang revealed that the organisers have no plans to celebrate the festival's 45th anniversary this summer, but hope for something in 2019.
"I think we're certainly done until the 50th," said Lang. "We're starting to think about it now." He also admitted that they were exploring various locations for the event.
The original incarnation of the iconic festival took place between 15 and 18 August, 1969, in Bethel, New York. Though there was only ever one edition of the festival, it is now widely considered to be the definite nexus for the counter-culture generation.

The festival featured over 30 acts performing for more than 400,000 people. There have been two official "sequels", one in 1994, and one five years later in 1999, though this one was marred with riots, arson and alleged rape.
Lang attempted to organise a 40th anniversary of the festival in 2009, but the event never came into fruition.
