I disagree with the inclusion of a couple of straight ahead music festivals in this category. Glastonbury I can accept for its roots, but Bath, Bickershaw, and Monterey were straight ahead rock festivals. If they are acceptable then why not Woodstock, The Isle of Wight, and ad infinitum?

The Monterey Pop Festival embodied the themes of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967.Monterey Pop Festival and the performers mostly played for free. Bickershaw became a free festival and Bath was seen as a counterculture event as were Woodstock and the Isle of Wight (in particular the 1970 event with the free festival alongside).BorisAndDoris (talk) 10:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
