Another large festival, the Meadows Technicolour Fair, was staged in South Australia near Meadows township, from Adelaide over the same long weekend in 1972. This event attracted almost 30,000 people, and featured many of the same Australian acts, as well three imported acts: singers Mary Hopkin, Tom Paxton and pop band Edison Lighthouse. This festival attracted almost as many people as Sunbury, despite South Australia having less than 10% of the eastern states population. The Meadows festival was not filmed nor recorded and has remained virtually unreported, it is not mentioned in any of the major print references on Australian rock music.
