Havoc and arson of Woodstock '99 being made into a documentary
Share
Woodstock ’99 was planned as a music festival of "peace and love" featuring Limp Bizkit, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, and Insane Clown Posse, but it devolved into squalid havoc, with arson, injuries, and sexual assaults, Deadline reports. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst infamously incited the crowd to actually break stuff as the band performed their song 'Break Stuff'. An activist group in attendance passed out candles to the crowd as part of a planned anti-gun vigil during the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ set, but it quickly went awry - uncontrolled bonfires erupted and plywood pieces from the Woodstock Peace Wall caught fire. These, and other events, are being recollected into a Netflix documentary.
