The 1966 festival still featured mostly jazz acts. However, by
1650-404: The money often gathered through fundraising and angel investors .

1700-588: The most original and exciting releases in recent years. What makes the concept of Turbowolf (and indeed the debut release) so exciting is their ability to further develop upon [their] influences, resulting in a creatively unique and engaging style, far removed from any of their contemporaries. Through this self-titled debut, the band have set the benchmark for British music at an extremely high and thoroughly merciless level." Big Cheese magazine said, "Combining their unmistakeable rocket pace with some frantically feral vocals and riffs, it's hard not to get swept away in

1900-737: The same organization. Production and financing Several of the early rock festival organizers of the 1960s such as Chet Helms , Tom Rounds , Alex Cooley and Michael Lang helped create the blueprint for large-scale rock festivals in the United States, as well promoters such as Wally Hope in the United Kingdom. In various countries, the organizers of rock festivals have faced legal action from authorities, in part because such festivals have attracted large counterculture elements. In 1972, Mar Y Sol Pop Festival in Manatí, Puerto Rico attracted an estimated 30–35,000 people, and an arrest warrant

2100-533: The then-common term ' pop music ', for the first few years, particularly in the US, many rock festivals were called 'pop festivals'.
