Today, The King Blues are attempting to break Status Quo’s world record of most gigs played in 24 hours. In 1991, The Quo raised £2m for charity and took a whole year planning their record breaking gig playing, which included 4 stages, 60 drums, 200 amps, 62 guitars, 105 cymbals, 12 miles of cable, 50 cameras, 2 million watts of power, 250 crew members, 8 helicopters, 5 jets, 20 limos and 16 police escorts.
The King Blues’ attempt to beat this record took only 60 minutes to organise and will include 1 crew member, 2 cameras and an old ambulance. If you want to see this amazing feat take place, check them out here:
