Abstract
ABSTRACT Between 1970 and 1975, at least 18 rock festivals took placein Australia, often near regional towns. These have gone largely undocumented.By focusing on these “forgotten” festivals, this article contributes to ourunderstanding of the festival’s role in Australian music culture, mapping theAustralian context over the international rock music trends of the time. Thesefestivals highlight the contribution of regional and rural settings to the developmentof contemporary Australian popular music. The use of the mythology of Woodstockin discourses around the festivals demonstrates conflicts within the youthcountercultures of the time, and moral panics associated with them.
