In 1986 the fifth of these festivals (also known as the “German Woodstock”) marked the climax of the citizens' protests against the WAA: With over 100,000 visitors on July 26th and 27th, 1986, Burglengenfeld experienced the largest rock concert in German history to date the most famous interpreters of the German rock music scene - from BAP, Die Toten Hosen, Udo Lindenberg, Rodgau Monotones, Purple Schulz, Rio Reiser to Herbert Grönemeyer - were represented. [2] As a result, the anti-nuclear movement received an unimaginable media response. Around 6,000 police officers were on duty around Burglengenfeld; Contrary to many fears on the part of the government authorities, the event was absolutely peaceful.

"When, late in the evening of the second day, around 100,000 people were singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' with Rio Reiser in the glow of lighters, the movement had its awakening experience, its Woodstock."
