About the Artist

Rockin' 1000, often hailed as the 'biggest rock band on earth,' is far more than your average musical act. Born from a viral video in 2015 where 1,000 musicians gathered in Cesena, Italy, to perform Foo Fighters' 'Learn to Fly' in a bid to attract the band to their city, Rockin' 1000 has evolved into a global touring sensation. This extraordinary project sees amateur and professional musicians from all walks of life – guitarists, bassists, drummers, singers, and more – unite under one banner. They rehearse meticulously to deliver jaw-dropping renditions of classic rock hits from legends like Queen, AC/DC, David Bowie, and many others. Their performances are a testament to the universal power of music, the thrill of collective creation, and the enduring legacy of rock music. Each show is a unique celebration, showcasing the sheer scale of talent and dedication involved.
