Held every year on the first weekend in August, the Wacken Open Air Festival has become one of the biggest metal festivals in the world (with up to 85,000 participants). It all started on 24 and 25 August 1990 with 800 visitors in the small village of Wacken (1990 inhabitants) in Schleswig-Holstein, 60 km north-west of Hamburg. Unfortunately there are no video recordings from 1990, the first one is this one from 1992.

Line-up 1990: 5th Avenue (Hamburg), Skyline (Wacken), Axe 'n Sex (Kiel), Motoslug, Sacret Season and Wizzard (all local bands).
The first internationally renowned bands then performed in 1992 (Saxon, Blind Guardian).
