Isle of Wight
Britain's Isle of Wight music festival actually predated Woodstock, starting in 1968. But the 1968 festival, though musically significant (Jefferson Airplane performed), was sparsely attended (15,000), and if any nudity happened, there don't seem to be any photos of it.
The 1969 festival occurred mere weeks after Woodstock. 150,000 people attended, and there was lots of nudity, in the water ...

and in crowds.

At the 1970 festival, this TV camera crew showed up, wanting to record the nudity in the bay. Some hippie guards told them that if they wanted access, they had to strip naked themselves. So they did. Well, fair is fair!

Nice how the nudity was a non-plus for the camera crew. Showed how much nudity was accepted.
Nothing better than being naked outside in nature.
