The Anti-WAAhnsinns Festival was a series of political rock concerts in Germany during the 1980s. Its aim was to support protests against the nuclear Wackersdorf reprocessing plant (WAA) in Wackersdorf (Bavaria). In 1986, the fifth festival (also called "German Woodstock") marked the peak of the protest movement against the plant. With over 100,000 people attending on 26 and 27 July, it was the largest rock concert in the history of Germany. The line-up included some of Germany's most popular music acts of the time such as BAP, Die Toten Hosen, Udo Lindenberg, Rio Reiser, Herbert Grönemeyer.
