===Open-Air Festival in Heidelberg, Heiligenberg Thingstätte===
'''Open Air Festival Heidelberg'''
A big festival with major headliners Pink Floyd and Deep Purple, organized by the "Cannapol Kommune" (related to Checkpoint Charlie) from Karlsruhe.


It was cancelled, apparently because most of the advertised bands cancelled due to commitments elsewhere or due to the dubious history of the venue. So, a number of the German bands organised their own event at the same venue.
'''''Date & Venue:''''' Thingstätte, Heidelberg, West Germany, August 29, 1970


Announced Bands: Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Xhol, Edgar Broughton Band, Embryo, Quintessence, Tangerine Dream, Guru Guru Groove, Nosferatu, Missus Beastly, Fashion Pink, Floh de Cologne, Warm Dust, Wedge, Gila Fuck
'''''Bands:''''' Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Xhol, Edgar Broughton Band, Embryo, Quintessence, Tangerine Dream, Guru Guru Groove, Nosferatu, Missus Beastly, Fashion Pink, Floh de Cologne, Warm Dust, Wedge, Gila Fuck


Only these bands are known to have played: Nosferatu, The Wedge, Missus Beastly, Guru Guru.
'''Notes:''' This festival did not take place. It was likely cancelled due to the fact that it had been scheduled on the same date as the Isle of Wight Festival.
