Alongside the music, the American public wanted the world to know how they felt. Only 10 months before the festival, two students had been shot dead at Kent State University - Woodstock represented the coming together of a counter culture intent on promoting new political thinking.

Woodstock Festival 1969: the concert that changed live music for ever. The line up included rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Santana and The Who - but Woodstock was about more than just the music. It’s now the symbol of the 60s, the end of an era of peace & love, sex, drugs and rock & roll, with 500,000 attending. The artist behind the famous poster and original t-shirt design, Arnold Skolnick, summed up the mood of the nation: "Something was tapped, a nerve, in this country. And everybody just came." 

This vintage style t-shirt was handmade in Europe from the finest 140gsm cotton and features flocked and embroidered detail in the print for a unique vintage feel. All Worn By garments are sweatshop free, ethically sourced and imported by sea in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
