KKnown as the Trans Continental Pop Festival (or “Festival Express”), this concert was held at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in July 1970. The lineup at this pair of shows was nothing less than extraordinary, and included Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Band and many others. This event was immortalized in the film named “Festival Express,” where Janis presented the promoters with an array of gifts at the end of the tour — including a signed toy train and a case of tequila.
This poster was nearly impossible to find until a small hoard showed up years ago. These have been dispersed and don’t show up often these days.
The original poster was printed on thin white stock and measures approximately 17″ x 22″.
The original handbill was printed on thin white stock and measures approximately 8″ x 11″.
