BETHEL — Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—a non-profit performance venue, museum and legendary site of the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair—is thrilled to announce its summer concert series, featuring a wide array of musicians and artists, including the Catbird Music Festival on August 19-20. 

For the first time since the 1969 Woodstock festival, music and camping will take place on the same historic field, with Catbird featuring acclaimed Americana and folk indie artists including The Lumineers, Tyler Childers, The War on Drugs,  Trey Anatasio Band, Dispatch and more, as well as additional emerging and independent artists. 

“Music is the core of  our history, and we’re looking forward to adding to our story with  the inaugural Catbird Music Festival, channeling the spirit of Woodstock. We have wanted to work with C3, one of the best festival producers in the business, for a long time and we’re thrilled to partner with them on this new can’t-miss event,” said Eric Frances, CEO, Bethel Woods.
