The Netflix release of Woodstock ’99 has been scheduled for August 2022. The new documentary aims to uncover the truth about what actually transpired during the iconic festival, which was beset by numerous problems.
Many people, especially those who were present, are familiar with the narrative of Woodstock ’99. The documentary, now named Clusterf**k: Woodstock ’99, will be available on Netflix worldwide on August 2nd, 2022, allowing you to relive the experience.
Although it had lofty goals, this festival’s execution fell short, as it has with many others over the years. It was modelled after the 1969 Woodstock festival, which had a lineup to match it and became an iconic success. Among the acts scheduled to perform were Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit, The Chemical Brothers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jewel, Everlast, and the Dave Matthews Band.
Many people regarded the incident as a disaster because of the fires, environmental disasters, violence, sexual assault, looting, and vandalism that it experienced.
In September 2020, Netflix’s documentary about Woodstock ’99 was originally announced along with some quick synopses of what to anticipate.
The documentary was created by Raw, the production group behind Fear City: New York vs. The Mafia and Don’t F**k with Cats on Netflix.
More than 400,000 people attended Woodstock ’99 over the course of four days in July 1999 in Rome, New York; nonetheless, the event was marred by terrible heat, rioting, and accusations of sexual assault. The worst incident occurred on the fourth day, during the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ festival-closing performance, when candles from the production were used to set fire to portions of the plywood “Peace Fence” that had been put up to keep out non-ticket holders. A melee ensued, with festival-goers looting ATMs and destroying vendor tents. Numerous people were arrested and thousands were hurt in the end.
The festival was extensively covered by MTV, and pay-per-view live coverage of the full weekend was made available.
The BBFC will assign the documentary a TV-MA classification, or an 18 rating in the UK. The reason for that grade is the sexual violence that is depicted in the movie.
The renowned event has already been covered. With their entry Woodstock 99: Peace Love and Rage, which was launched in 2021 and is currently accessible on HBO Max, HBO significantly beat Netflix to the punch.
