The surviving Chelmsford Rocks index records Odeon listings from 1963 through the 1980s. Selected tickets, posters and event pages provide more detail for some dates. This is a guide into that material, not a complete venue chronology.
A ticket prints Tuesday 3 June 1980 at the Odeon Theatre, with Wishbone Ash and unnamed special guests. A separate tour poster lists Wednesday 3 June at Chelmsford Odeon but gives no year. The records remain separate because the weekday differs.

The Where & When source also records early 1960s Odeon appearances and later entries for artists including Brenda Lee, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Saxon, Shakin’ Stevens, Steve Hackett, UFO and XTC. Their source wording and date precision vary; this page does not promote each index entry to a verified performance.
The venue is identified in the current archive as the historic cinema and concert venue on Baddow Road, Chelmsford.
