FROM WOODSTOCK FESTIVALS: 

We are deeply saddened by the death of our partner Michael Lang. He was a producer, father, environmentalist, friend, husband and most of all, one-of-a-kind dreamer whose mark on the world is undeniable. He will be missed

FROM MOUNTAIN JAM: 

:

Rest in Peace Micheal. Thank you for paving the way for so many music festivals.
 
 FROM BETHEL WOODS CENTER FOR THE ARTS: 
We are greatly saddened at the news of the passing of Michael Lang, one of the original organizers of Woodstock. Michael’s role as a visionary behind the festival has left an indelible mark on history. In an interview given to the Museum in 2006, Michael said: “What’s important about [Woodstock] is, I think, that it proves that it’s possible. It proves that there is another way for the world to function and for people to relate to each other; it’s proof. And that’s something to aspire to.”


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-PEACE \m/
