Jay Z Reportedly Pulls Out Of....

The creators of the original Woodstock festival planned to put on a 50th anniversary concert throughout many setbacks.

Just one month before the festival kicks off, Woodstock has faced permit denials, loss of financial partners, and has even changed the city for the festival.

The festival is now completely free and taking place August 16-18 (or not).
