Rockin’1000 – The World’s Biggest Rock Band
September 14, 2024

Rockin’1000 is a project born in Italy that became world-renowned after bringing the Foo Fighters to the small town of Cesena, following a viral video featuring several musicians playing their songs simultaneously in a park. Over the years, the world’s largest rock band has grown and now includes an international community of 80,000 musicians.

The world’s biggest rock band will make its first appearance in Portugal, exclusively at the Dr. Magalhães Pessoa Municipal Stadium in Leiria. On September 14, 2024, the stadium will host a unique show, where one thousand artists will perform great rock classics, both national and international, alongside names like Pedro Abrunhosa and Nic Cester.

For spectators who want to witness this unforgettable show, Rockin’1000 Portugal promises to be the most amazing event of 2024! It’s a chance to experience a one-of-a-kind performance, with 1,000 musicians simultaneously playing the most iconic covers in rock history.

On the days of the event and rehearsals, the city will come alive with various special offers, from exclusive discounts and small live music concerts.

Rockin’1000 issues a challenge to Leiria residents
In addition to attending the event, Leiria residents have the opportunity to participate actively, either as volunteers or by hosting a musician in their home. Volunteers must be over 18 years old, speak English, and preferably know Leiria well. Volunteers will receive a backstage access pass and will be able to closely follow the musicians. Those who choose to host a musician in their home in the days leading up to the event must provide accommodation and breakfast, as well as ensure transportation to the stadium (within a 30-minute radius). In return, families receive three free tickets to the event.

Applications for both initiatives must be submitted by September 7 through the Leiria Local Volunteer Bank or via the form available on the City Council’s website. It’s a way to experience Rockin’1000 in a unique way, contributing to the success of an event that promises to make history in the city.
