  • The biggest rock band on earth , Rockin' 1000, is coming to the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 ready to rock the rooftop off. 

    The 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest is ready to ride the rock wave in a sequence of rock vibes following the Maneskin trend, as Rockin' 1000 will be taking part in the contest in Turin. 

    The Rockin' 1000 is a group of rock musicians primarily from Italy. Over a thousand musicians play and sing simultaneously at their concerts.  The irregular rock band is about to take action in order to make special promotional material for the contest in Turin. 

     

    How did Rockin' 1000 come up

    The group was originally assembled in July 2015 as a way to ask the Foo Fighters to visit the town of Cesena, Italy.Originally organized in a crowdfunding effort by Fabio Zaffagnini, the Rockin' 1000 have made several subsequent appearances, and have been dubbed the "biggest band in the world."Their initial performance in 2015 was made under the direction of Marco Sabiu.

    Large-scale groups under the name Rockin' 1000 have been reassembled for some subsequent performances. On 7 July 2019, Rockin' 1000 played 18 songs in the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany. With 1,002 musicians playing in front of an audience of 15,000 spectators, the project achieved the world record for the largest performing rock band. Hundreds of guitar, bass players, drummers, keyboardists, singers, and wind and string sections joined together, playing rock classics by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Oasis, Depeche Mode and others.

    Take a look at one of the band's impressive concert to get an idea of what they stand for:
