Due to the security situation, the city of Jerusalem and the Homefront Command instruct organizers of the Jerusalem Woodstock Revival that the event cannot take place Thursday as scheduled at the Kraft Family Stadium in Jerusalem, according to event organizer Steve Leibowitz.
The event is rescheduled for August 21.
Thursday was to mark the sixth annual Woodstock, when local musicians pay tribute to the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and other iconic musicians of the period.
The now-annual summer event is a beloved “throwback festival,” said organizer Nadia Levene, and is sponsored by the Jerusalem Municipality, Times of Israel, Haaretz, HP, and others.
