The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival was a one-day, twelve-hour music festival held in Toronto on September 13, 1969. It featured a number of popular musical acts from the 1950s and 1960s. Held less than a month after Woodstock, the festival is particularly notable for featuring an appearance by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, and Alan White as the Plastic Ono Band leading to the release of their Live Peace in Toronto 1969 album. The festival was also the subject of two films: D.A. Pennebaker film Sweet Toronto and the 2022 Ron Chapman film Revival 69: The Concert That Rocked the World.
