Divinyls rocked one of America’s biggest stages early on… opening the 1983 US Festival on New Wave Day. Chrissy Amphlett looked like a star, but the weird part… after such a huge intro, their breakthrough still took almost another decade. #ChrissyAmphlett #Divinyls #USFestival #OneHitWondered

My 1st time I saw Ozzy was at the US Festival '83. I knew this day was coming, especially after what he said a few weeks ago at his last concert. It was time. He has left an imprint in everyone's heart that loved him, his music, and everyone around him. ❤️🤘 #Ozzy #Music #Legend #USFestival #Memories
I was there at #USFestival twice and it was incredible. The bands I was able to see and mingle with backstage on New Wave day. I was just a kid but it’s still so vivid to me. I feel lucky. #music #documentaries
42 years ago I was watching Bono climb the stage lighting while singing Helter Skelter! #UsFestival

And infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic
It's your one chance for escape"
