This “1 000 people covering a song” idea may seem familiar to you and you’re right – just last year we were introduced to the Italian-based “biggest rock band on Earth,” Rockin’1000, when they performed a cover of the Foo Fighters. Check that video HERE.

Over this past weekend, the group of volunteers reunited to cover David Bowie’s 1974 glam-rock hit “Rebel Rebel” at the Orogel Stadium in Cesena, Italy.

Molta eccitazione.

The group’s founder, Fabio Zaffagnini, told the audience:

Last year, we did something extraordinary. Someone called it a revolution.

But this, what you’re seeing here behind me: this is the revolution.

Musicians from all over the world came together and are giving us an incredible live show. They’re just like themselves, but they perform like rock stars, with no one standing out – showing us that with passion, dedication and fucking hard work, we can transform our lives.

So stick together, no more conflicts and play rock n’ roll.

There’s a message for the ages.

Split into their usual crews of singers, bassists, drummers, and keyboardists – as well as violinists and bagpipe players – the panoramic video is just as epic as the last. The set list also covered White Stripe’s ‘Seven Nation Army’ and the Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’.
