Some performers from the 1969 Woodstock concert will get back to the garden for a 40th-anniversary show this summer.

On the bill for Aug. 15 are the Levon Helm Band, Jefferson Starship, Big Brother and the Holding Co., Ten Years After, Canned Heat, Mountain and Country Joe McDonald.

They’ll perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel. It was built on the site of the dairy farm trampled on by some 400,000 people on the weekend of Aug. 15 to 17, 1969.
