Dead & Company and Santana were part of the original 1969 festival, and some other returning legacy acts include, John Fogerty, John Sebastian, Country Joe McDonald, Canned Heat, and Hot Tuna.
John Fogerty says, quote, “The mood in the country is different, similar in many respects, but different. I’m very glad that I’m able to be here 50 years later . . . I’m going to be playing most of the same songs that I played then.”
Robert Plant will be performing with The Sensational Space Shifters. According to reports, Led Zeppelin was invited to perform at the original show, but they turned it down.
