Plans are underway to resurrect the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, the original Bonnaroo, Rolling Stone reports. The Festival, which is being organized by original co-promoter Michael Lang, would take place both in Berlin and an unknown location in New York. Lang is hoping to lure Woodstock vets the Who, Santana, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, and Country Joe and the Fish.

The 1969 concert phenomenon produced two spin-offs, to varying degrees of success — Woodstock ’94, which featured Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Green Day, and Woodstock ’99, which featured Metallica, Rage Against the Machine and Limp Bizkit.
