“Not only did the rock god that is Jimi Hendrix play Hastings Pier in 1967 but there were also some other really big artists who played, which included The Who, The Kinks and even Pink Floyd (who were replaced by Unit 4+2 for that specific show) making the Hastings Pier the place to be in 1967.

“This Jimi Hendrix poster is incredibly unique, most of these have likely been thrown away or in bad condition, making this one even more rare as it’s in great condition for how old it is.

“We estimate the poster to be in the region of £3,000 to £5,000, but could be potentially more due to its rarity and condition.”

Auctioneers said the poster has original tape marks and centre fold lines, bottom edge has a 2cm vertical tear and a couple of other small edge scuffs and one other small puncture below Pier Box Office text.

The auction will take place at Burstow & Hewett in Battle on Wednesday at 1.30pm.
