For 4 years from 1972, the festival was held on the Australia Day long weekend at a private farm on the outskirts of Sunbury near Melbourne, attracting around 35,000 punters of pop. Likened at the time to Woodstock, today Sunbury can be seen as a forerunner to big festivals like Big Day Out, Falls and Splendour in the Grass. Line-ups included home-grown acts such as Skyhooks, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Sherbet, Daddy Cool and Captain Matchbox; with international guests like Queen and Deep Purple headlining in later festivals. However, it was Deep Purple who tolled the death knell for the Sunbury festival in 1975. Operating at a loss, organisers paid out the UK rock stars at the expense of the local acts who went home penniless. Sunbury 72 David Hill (a youthful ABC journalist) reported the pioneer festival culture at Sunbury '72 as a mix of hippies, yobbos, organic food stalls and makeshift tents and swags. The first Sunbury concert was held over the Long Weekend period from 29th to 31st January, 1972. Tickets cost $6 for the 3 days and there was an estimated 35-40,000 in attendance. Gerry Humphreys (of the The Loves Ones) was the MC and the festival sported the largest number of bands of all the Sunbury concerts. Bands playing at the festival were: The Bushwackers and Bullockys Bush Band Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band Glenn Cardier Carson Chain Company Caine Friends Healing Force The La De Das Mackenzie Theory Phil Manning Max Merritt and the Meteors Pilgrimage Pirana Wendy Saddington SCRA Spectrum Tamam Shud Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs Total Fire Band The Wild Cherries Greg Quill & Country Radio Highway Indelible Murtceps The La De Das Mulga Bill's Bicycle Band Blackfeather Barry McCaskill & The Levi Smith Clefs  Related Torrents
