Woodstock '99. July 23-35, 1999 in Rome, New York – Organisers hoped to recreate the peace and love of the original event 30 years earlier, but sadly Woodstock '99 is now remembered for its incidents of rape, violence, arson and its ultimate early abandonment. 200,000 people turned up, but in the scorching temperatures the facilities were not enough. Anger eventually boiled with people starting fires and violence erupting. Police reported four incidents of rape, while numerous people were taken in for looting and arson.
