The concert ran from August 12, 1994 to August 14. The concert was also dubbed "Mudstock" due to a downpour on August 13; punk band Green Day saw their set degenerate into an enormous mud fight between the band and fans. Eventually, the band's bassist, Mike Dirnt, was mistaken for a stage-crashing fan by a bouncer, and in the ensuing fight he lost several front teeth. When Primus preformed their hit song "My Name Is Mud" they were pelted in mud. However, the concert was relatively uneventful, certainly in comparison to Woodstock 1999.
