Additionally, the site ground level sloped which allowed for a better viewing for the audience throughout the site. </p><p>The first Monsters of Rock line-up consisted of a mix of British and international bands. The event was a success with 35,000 heavy metal fans attending. Although only conceived as a one-off event, it was mentioned on the day the idea that the festival will return the following year and the first edition birthed what would become a regular festival for the next 15 years, becoming synonymous as a Mecca for fans of the genre and further establishing the <a href="/wiki/Midlands_(England)" class="mw-redirect" title="Midlands (England)">Midlands</a> as the home of heavy metal.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Over the years, the attendance continued to grow, reaching 107,000 in 1988–where two fans died during the <a href="/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses" title="Guns N' Roses">Guns N' Roses</a> set. The blame was initially accounted to the large size of the crowd and a rush forward during the band's set. But it was officially declared that the cause was laid on the weather, causing muddy and wet conditions on the sloping ground. As a result, the festival did not take place in 1989, and it was replaced that year by a two-day festival similar to Monsters of Rock, the <a href="/wiki/Moscow_Music_Peace_Festival" title="Moscow Music Peace Festival">Moscow Music Peace Festival</a> in Soviet Union, which included performances by several Monsters of Rock veterans <a href="/wiki/Bon_Jovi" title="Bon Jovi">Bon Jovi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ozzy_Osbourne" title="Ozzy Osbourne">Ozzy Osbourne</a>, <a href="/wiki/M%C3%B6tley_Cr%C3%BCe" title="Mötley Crüe">Mötley Crüe</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scorpions_(band)" title="Scorpions (band)">Scorpions</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Monsters of Rock returned the year after with a limitation to the crowd of 75,000.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The festival had been held in parallel in West Germany from 1983 to 1991. In 1984 and 1986 the festival branched into Sweden. In 1988, the festival occurred for the first time in France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. It was held as a one-time event in 1991 in Russia (one of the largest concerts of all time, with an estimated audience of over 1.6 million<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In 1995 the festival found itself in a similar situation until <a href="/wiki/Metallica" title="Metallica">Metallica</a> agreed to play with the condition of the band having control over the event and naming it "Escape from the Studio". In 1996 <a href="/wiki/Ozzy_Osbourne" title="Ozzy Osbourne">Ozzy Osbourne</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kiss_(band)" title="Kiss (band)">KISS</a> co-headlined the festival and although there were plans to extend the festival into a two-day event in 1997, the promoters once again found themselves in a struggle for headliners and the event was cancelled and discontinued. </p><p>Donington Park remained event-less until 2001 when the Rock and Blues Festival and <a href="/wiki/Stereophonics" title="Stereophonics">Stereophonics</a> held events at the site. In 2002 the <a href="/wiki/Ozzfest" title="Ozzfest">Ozzfest</a> tour returned to the UK using Donington Park as their only British event and the following year <a href="/wiki/Live_Nation" class="mw-redirect" title="Live Nation">Live Nation</a> picked up the reins as Monsters of Rock's successor in the name of <a href="/wiki/Download_Festival" title="Download Festival">Download Festival</a>.
