Two major reasons while you'll never see a major festival like that.
1) The music world is moving away from major artist/band success that can be lived off of for decades. Now it's about new artists breaking through (mostly on social media) with a hit or two and an album, blowing up on social media and then becoming much smaller due to the critical mass of new artists being discovered.
2) Artist/Band fees for major recording artists are astronomical now a days. To pull off the star power of the original Woodstock, hell even Woodstock 99, they'd have to charge like $1500 a ticket and have huge numbers sold at that price.
