Judge says troubled Woodstock Festival can go on and investor has to give money back

New York - A major festival commemorating the 50th anniversary of Woodstock can proceed, a New York judge ruled, saying in a decision Wednesday that a former investor can't unilaterally shelve the event.

Judge Barry Ostrager of New York state's Supreme Civil Court decided in favour of the festival organisers but said Woodstock 50"falls woefully short" of proving Amplifi Live - a subsidiary of the Japanese marketing firm Dentsu - needed to return the approximately $18 million in funds it withdrew fromThe feud is set for arbitration.

The event would mark half a century since the 1969 weekend of peace, love and music, considered a major milestone in pop culture history. A primary point of dispute was the festival's anticipated capacity, with an initial plan to host 150,000 people in bucolic upstate New York's Watkins Glen.
