   A one day festival, orgnaised jointly between the Football Club and the Lincolnshire Chronicle . The events began at 12 noon and went on until around 10.30 at night . The Who headlined , but despite featuring an impressive lineup of some of the best UK pop groups of the day the event lost money due to poor attendance and another rock festival was not held in the area until 1971.
