EVENT OVERVIEW
About Knebworth Historic Concerts
Knebworth Park became one of Britain’s landmark large-scale outdoor concert locations beginning with the Bucolic Frolic in 1974.
HOW IT DEVELOPED
Event History
Knebworth House’s official concert history documents major events including Pink Floyd in 1975, The Rolling Stones in 1976, Genesis in 1978, Led Zeppelin on two dates in 1979, Queen in 1986 and the Silver Clef concert in 1990.
WHY HERE
Location History
The concerts are tied directly to Knebworth Park, the grounds of Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, which developed into a recurring large outdoor concert site.
BY THE NUMBERS
Attendance History
Knebworth House documents the concert chronology but does not provide one attendance figure for the series. Class Act therefore leaves series-wide attendance blank.
