## Resource

In this episode of Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, we dive into the spectacular failures of two Canadian music festivals that were supposed to make history. From Strawberry Fields in August of 1970, an event billed as "Canada’s Woodstock", to 1996's Edenfest, a 90s mega‑festival with a killer lineup and disastrous finances, we explore how ambition, poor planning, and runaway chaos can sink even the most promising events. These are the forgotten stories of how music festivals fall apart, and why the consequences can last for decades. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
