Here comes “Goodstock”.
Artie Kornfeld — one of the creators of Woodstock — is putting on a new event this summer inspired by the feel of the original festival. Goodstock will take place in Summersville, W.Va., July 19-21. “It’s a renaissance faire about the Summer of Love,” Kornfeld said. “It’s to create the feeling of hope that we had that weekend.”

Woodstock gets a makeover
Artie Kornfeld, one of the masterminds behind the 1969 music festival Woodstock, has decided to try and re-create the legendary event this summer. But this time, instead of Woodstock, N.Y., he's chosen Summersville, W. Va., for the event (July 19-21). And instead of Woodstock, it'll be called Goodstock.
