The Santa Monica Rock Festival was a huge rock festival planned by the two major Italian promoters back in the 70s Francesco Sanavio and David Zard.
This Festival never happened, because the local administration in Rimini denied the permits to do it one month before. It was supposed to be a very big festival both for the kind of artists on the poster and for the large audience coming from all over the world, even from Australia. When they announced that the Festival was not happening tickets were already sold out.
Among the artists who should have played at the Festival at the Autodromo in Misano Adriatico for four days from July 25th until July 28th there were Rod Stewart, Deep Purple, Lou Reed, Ten Years After, Humble Pie and many others.
