The article analyzes sociability and audience experiences at 1970s Brazilian countercultural festivals. It investigates the audience profile, showing how interstate travel and unconventional aesthetics were tactics for questioning the order during the military dictatorship. It demonstrates these events' ambivalence: fueled by expanding consumption during the “economic miracle”, they generated tensions due to the transgressive potential of behavioral liberalization.
