Shaggy of The Insane Clown Posse performs on the west stage Friday at Woodstock '99 in Rome, New York at Griffiss AFB Park for the 30th Anniversary Concert.
The Woodstock 99 lineup included hit performers from the late 90s, including nu metal artists Korn, Limp Bizkit and Insane Clown Posse, soft rock performers Sheryl Crow and Jewel, and throwback artist James Brown.
The chosen lineup and how the performances affected the crowd was one of the elements that led to chaos, according to the Netflix docuseries “Trainwreck: Woodstock 99.”
The docuseries highlighted a handful of performers, but the three-day festival included 45 bands across four stages during the main festival periods, and 85 including the after-hours raves and performers on Thursday, July 22, 1999, before the festival initially opened.

The Woodstock 99 Lineup Was Partially Blamed for the Chaos That Ensued at the Festival
GettyBuckcherry performs on the west stage Friday at Woodstock ’99 in Rome, New York at Griffiss AFB Park for the 30th Anniversary Concert.
The San Francisco Chronicle cast most of the blame for the choas on some of the performers in a 1999 article, “Woodstock ’99: The day the music died.”
“Obviously, these are different eras with different Zeitgeists,” the author wrote, contrasting Woodstock 99 with the original Woodstock festival. “And no one entity is at fault. Promoters perhaps waited too long to call law enforcement. Vendors probably were greedy, charging $4 for bottled water and $4 for pretzels. And in any crowd of 250,000 there will be some ‘bad apples,’ as promoters termed the rioters. But if there’s blame to be placed for inciting the riots, it’s on the bands themselves.”
According to the newspaper article, the chaos started with the Insane Clown Posse, which did not appear on the documentary.
“Insane Clown Posse started the ball rolling by throwing $100 bills into the audience and watching gleefully while a melee ensued,” the article said. “Kid Rock demanded that the kids pelt the stage with plastic water bottles. Soon, it looked like a plague of locusts, with Rock himself having to seek shelter from the hail of plastic projectiles.”
The Full Lineup of Performers Included 85 Bands & Artists
