RedZone Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Monsters of Rock Moscow Attendance: 1.6 million After decades of political isolation, the citizens of the Soviet Union were hungry for new music. In 1991 they finally got their dose of rock 'n' roll when the Monsters of Rock festival came to Moscow's Tushino Airfield. The Black Crowes, Pantera, Metallica, AC/DC, and a Russian band called E.S.T. gathered 1.6 million people. As the country was facing the economic crisis and the fall of the old political system, this new kind of culture was met with numerous controversies in the Soviet Union at the time. But it was Monsters of Rock that helped break the old ways and bring change to the cultural landscape of Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
