John Fogerty and Steve Winwood take the stage at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 7:00 PM. These two are also playing CMAC a week earlier — but hearing them on the original Woodstock site adds a layer that a Finger Lakes amphitheater, beautiful as it is, can’t quite replicate.
About the Artists
John Fogerty was there in the summer of ’69 — Creedence Clearwater Revival played the original Woodstock festival. Returning to this ground with “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” in the setlist is the kind of full-circle moment that gives a show real gravity. Fogerty still plays with the intensity of someone who has something to prove, even though he proved it decades ago.
Steve Winwood’s career stretches from the Spencer Davis Group at age 15 through Traffic, Blind Faith, and a solo career that produced era-defining hits like “Higher Love” and “Back in the High Life Again.” Together, these two represent the deep roots of rock and roll — and Bethel Woods is hallowed ground for exactly that kind of music.
Revisit the catalogs — John Fogerty on Amazon and Steve Winwood on Amazon are both essential.
The Venue
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts sits on the original site of the 1969 Woodstock festival in the Hudson Valley. The fact that Fogerty played the original festival and is now returning to this exact ground makes this more than a concert — it’s a piece of living history. The pavilion and lawn offer excellent sight lines, and the on-site museum is worth arriving early for. Full Bethel Woods venue guide here.
