Plot Synopsis

Despite losing $12 million during its inaugural year, The US Festival returned in 1983 for three more days of music in San Bernardino, CA, featuring a legendary lineup. Each day of the festival catered to its own genre from dancing along to The English Beat, Men At Work, INXS, to rocking out with Joe Walsh, Stevie Nicks, and Bowie, to concluding the festival with horns up and Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, and Quiet Riot. Blending rare concert footage with interviews with both organizers and performers, each episode features performances from featured acts. Each one-hour installment of this three-episode series chronicles a different day, beginning with "Day 1: New Wave Day," featuring performances from The English Beat, Stray Cats, Men at Work, The Clash, and more.
