Saturday 18 July - Argyle Football Ground, Plymouth (Plymouth Rock Festival)
Comments: Planned gig that was seemingly called-off after contractual problems between the promoters and the groups. Early advertising showed the intended line-up as Flesh For Lulu, Steel Pulse, New Order, The Damned, Spear of Destiny, Public Image Ltd and Siouxsie & The Banshees. However, the festival was salvaged with Spear of Destiny, Steel Pulse and The Damned still supposed to be appearing. The gig may have gone ahead with some bands - Black Sabbath turned up (but refused to play) and Captain Sensible supposedly played. The Damned were said to have been furious that the promoters continued using their name long after they had pulled-out.
