Hendrix at Woodstock – The Day Music Changed
August 16, 2025
The powerful legacy of Hendrix at Woodstock and how he transformed music and protest during the festival in 1969.
Woodstock was MUCH MORE than just a festival — it was many things to many people. It was the messy, muddy heartbeat of an era. A cultural revolution and movement of the people against current global political events. It was a peaceful gathering of like-minded people in a long, hot summer.
August 15–18, 1969. Bethel, New York. Half a million people chasing peace, love, and maybe a little bit of shelter from the rain.
The lineup was absolutely stacked and looking back these were eternal legends. Everyone from folk poets to face-melting guitar heroes. But for me, five names tower over that weekend: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, and The Band.

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, we know it simply as Woodstock, was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur‘s dairy farm in Bethel, New York, – actually 40 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock. Billed as Woodstock Rock Festival “an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music”, it attracted an audience of more than 400,000 and 32 acts performed outdoors despite the rain, including legends such as The Who, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. It would go down in history as one of the defining moments in Rock Music history – a truly groundbreaking event. These vintage-esque graphic Woodstock T-Shirts have a hippie vibe and a faded style print to look as if you bought it at THE concert.
