Summary

Organizers of Woodstock ‘99 set out to recreate the vibe of the original concert, all while turning a profit. But the three-day festival was beset by broken toilets, contaminated water, endless garbage, and corporate sponsors price gouging the concert goers. Meanwhile, the organizers failed to appreciate their headline acts were thrash-rock bands who whipped up the oversexed, over-drugged audience into a frenzy - which culminated in a fiery riot. The Netflix documentary series “Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99” replays the music festival catastrophe through the eyes of staff, musicians, and concert goers. This docuseries goes behind the scenes to reveal the greed, naiveté, and music that fueled three days of utter chaos.
