Mega rare original official programme (program) for the Holland Pop Festival held in Rotterdam Kralingse Bos (Kralingen) from 26 to 28 June 1970.

The following bands were on the bill (listed in order of appearance as stated in the program):
26 June: Canned Heat, Quintessence, East Of Eden, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Flock, Hot Tuna (Stage 2: Ekseption, Focus, Bismark)
27 June: Country Joe, Pentangle, Renaissance, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Al Stewart, CCC Folk Blues Inc., Tata Mirando, Byrds, Family, Dr. John the Nighttripper, Third Ear Band (Stage 2: Oscar Benton, Dream, Bintangs)
28 June: Nederlands Danstheater, Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, It's a Beautiful Day, Mungo Jerry, Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Chicago Art Ensemble, John Surman, Han Bennink, Caravan, Super Sister

The program looks like a newspaper, it has indeed the same size of a newspaper and is printed on the same kind of paper. It consists of 12 pages with black & white photographs and accompanying text (in dutch) for each band, plus an introduction, one page describing the "kralingsebos" site of the festival, and the central "programma" page with the bill of each day (there are hand-written "X" near some band's names).

The program is overall in fair conditions (maybe even a bit worse for certain aspects) as the paper has became dry and, consequently, rather fragile. It has been evidently stored folded in the middle since then, so the first (external) page appears very creased - with some little holes - along the fold. The vertical fold between the first and the last page is also very creased and perforated in many parts. There are tears along the lower edges, and some creasing along the right edges of most pages. Little portions of paper are missing from the lower side of the last two pages. I wish to point out that I didn't get such a detailed description from the seller whom I got this item from! I now wish that anybody interested be correctly informed of the actual conditions of the item.

Anyway, it's a luck that this programme survived such a mass event like the Holland Pop Festival - it happened nearly 40 years ago! It is without any doubt an extremely rare document of that era, and a must have for every Pink Floyd collector in particular.
