^This picture apparently taken at the 1984 edition.



https://www.setlist.fm/venue/peoples-festival-liverpool-england-43d4339f.html - this has dates for 1984 and 1985 edition. But no more info than the bands you've already got, I'm afraid.
get thee to the library before the c*nts close it down

Think this image is from it. Nothing else on the site this is from though.
