The grounds of Knebworth House near the village of Knebworth had been a major venue for open air rock and pop concerts since 1974. In 1979, veteran promoter Freddy Bannister booked Led Zeppelin to play that year's concerts which took place on 4 August [1] and 11 August [2] after the bandleader of the Electric Light Orchestra, Jeff Lynne, turned down the offer to headline the festival.
Support bands included Fairport Convention and Chas and Dave. The Beach Boys headlined the 1980 Knebworth concert, which would prove to be the last UK performance of the band's original lineup.
