Rip It Up's special issue promoting the first Sweetwaters festival in 1980. Many festivals produced their own pre-festival and onsite magazines and newspapers, including the Ngaruawahia Chronicle (for The Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival in 1973), The Sun and Waves at Nambassa, Sweetwaters News (from 1981 to 1984 and again in 1999), and Mountain Rock's Wild Mountain Times.
