Piedra Roja was a music festival in

Santiago. Among others, the following bands performed in the festival: Aguaturbia, Los Blops, Lágrima Seca and Los Jaivas. Similarly to Woodstock, chaos marked the festival, involving problems with sound, drugs and delinquency.

It also showed the increasing social tension that would end in the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.[citation needed
