Aug 12 - 13, 1989 (35 years ago) Luzhniki Stadium Moscow, Russian Federation
Often referred to as the “Russian Woodstock,” the Moscow Music Peace Festival was the first festival in Moscow to include Western bands performing with Russian bands. From the West, Cinderella, Skid Row, Mötley Crüe, and Bon Jovi represented the US, Jason Bonham and Ozzy Osbourne represented the UK, and the Scorpions represented Germany alongside Russian bands Gorky Park, Nuana, and Brigada S. The series of concerts promoted new understanding and peace between the Western and Eastern blocs during the glasnot era of the Soviet Union. Over 100,000 people attended in-person with spectators viewing the live broadcast in nearly 60 nations.
