Organised by Grantham promoter, Brian Thompson, who had booked Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band, The Move, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, all supported by a local band called Sounds Force Five. The event was held in the Tulip Bulb Auction Hall in Spalding, Lincolnshire on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday 29th May 1967. The event was advertised nationally, with thousands making their way to the market town and resulting in radio appeals for people to turn back. The attendance was estimated between 4,000 and 6,000 with twice as many unable to gain entry. Tickets to attend the event cost just £1.
