The event was intended as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the, a landmark festival that was held on August 15-17, 1969, in. Like the previous Woodstock festivals, it was held in upstate New York, this time in, roughly 3 hours (187 miles/301 km) from and 2 hours (151 miles/243 km) from the site of the original event, and the attendance was approximately 600,000 over five days.

Much of the festival was streamed live via, and live coverage of the entire festival was available on. The size of the crowd was larger than concert organizers had planned for and by the second night many of the event policies were logistically unenforceable. The event was marred by violence, looting, and environmental conditions.

Facilities
The concert was performed three miles outside the central business district of Saratoga Springs at the, a county-owned, public-use airport.

A 12-foot (3.7 m) plywood and steel barrier was erected around the festival site to keep out those without tickets, however many people actually watched the concert from roofs of stores in nearby shopping centers or atop the "Peace Wall". In addition to the two main stages (Bird Stage, mostly featuring popular contemporary/Top 40 artists; and Guitar Stage, mostly featuring adult contemporary and rock artists, as well as musical acts who had appeared in the lineup of the original 1969 Woodstock festival and the later Woodstock '94 and '99 festivals), secondary venues were available. These included several alternate stages, a night-time rave tent, a -sponsored country music showcase stage, an emerging artists stage located inside an airplane hangar, and a mini comic-con organized by held inside a temporary tent structure.

The city of Saratoga Springs itself, especially the downtown area and the commercial areas adjacent to the festival site, became a major draw for attendees, who patronized its bars, restaurants, and stores and stayed in its hotels and motels for the duration of the concert.
