More Big Names Withdraw From Woodstock 50 Line-up

Woodstock's 50th anniversary concert has taken another hit today with a number of big name acts withdrawing from the festival. 

According to Pitchfork, Miley Cyrus, The Saboteurs, Santana and The Lumineers will no longer be performing at the festival, joining artists like Jay Z, Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty, John Sebastian and Dead & Company who had already announced they would not be playing.

The news comes just days after it was announced that the festival would be relocating to Maryland from upstate New York after losing their original venue at racetrack Watkins Glen International. 

Additionally, it's been reported that tickets for the festival - which is set to happen 16-18 August - will now be free. 

The Saboteurs have announced they'll be playing a show in Niagara, New York (around a three hour drive from the Watkins Glen site) on 16 August.

Courtney Barnett and Brian Cadd were the only two Australian artists announced on the original Woodstock 50 line-up back in March. 

The Music has reached out to both Barnett and Cadd's teams to confirm their appearances at the new Maryland location.
