Midsummer High Weekend was the first major free rock concert in the UK and was held at Hyde Park, London. On Saturday 29 June 1968, Pink Floyd were one of several bands to play, alongside T-Rex, Jethro Tull and Roy Harper. The concert was held to coincide with the release of Pink Floyd's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets. Most of the material played was from this album, including only one from their previous Syd Barrett-led début album. Roy Harper reportedly played the cymbals on A Saucerful of Secrets.
