Cheers Steels. This is one for the older members on here. I well remember a trip to Loftus Road for a concert by the group Yes in the mid 70s. There were a couple of stadium concerts at The Valley as well (saw Humble Pie there). What was the first rock/pop concert or festival in an English football stadium ? Any of the 3 leading acts and the stadium will do.

Actually I can give you a couple of points here Nines because the Who were one of the main acts (very young at the time), together with 2 other famous London bands (also just getting started), and many others. Not sure what day of the week it was, whether it was a lazy sunday afternoon or not, but it may have been a sunny one.

Ok so it was the Kinks. And the Small Faces (?)

At a football stadium in the early sixties.......hmm, let’s go Vicarage Road, because you are a Hornet. Got to be a London(ish) ground.

The three leading acts were The Who, the Small Faces and the Kinks, along with the Yardbirds and an impressive lineup for the period and a year before the Monterrey Festival. For such an impressive lineup it was not a success in economic terms because of bad organization. Not Vicarage Road though Graham Taylor might have been in the area at the time.

All yours Stan. The Lincoln Pop Festival of 1966 was the first to be held in an English football stadium - a one day event with a large selection of well known artists. Holding such events in football stadiums only really took off again in the 70s (although Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac played at Notts County in 69).

Still in a golf mood, which player has the most PGA tours tournament wins?
