Monsters of Rock are a series of rock festivals born in England and held annually at Donnington Park — with its 1980 and 1996 editions among the most memorable.
In 1980, promoter Paul Loasby planned a one-day summer festival dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal bands, which featured Rainbow, Judas Priest, Saxon and Riot, among many others. Over the years, this music event was reproduced in several cities in Europe and the Americas, with the 1991 edition in Moscow the most emblematic, featuring bands like AC/DC, Metallica, The Black Crowes, Pantera and E.S.T.
