Longest concert-Balatonfured Guitar Festival
sets world record
BUDAPEST,
Hungay--Musicians performed for 216 hours continuously at
a resort by Lake Balaton, thereby achieving a world record
for the longest concert by multiple artists
, during
the Balatonfured
Guitar Festival
.
For ten days, day and night, 1,000 musicians in
350 groups of all shapes and sizes lined up to take the stage
-- classical guitarists, jazz, Latin, flamenco and rock musicians
all did their stuff -- the youngest among them just seven
years old.
Hungarians already held the record for the longest
concert. In 2007 a performance lasting 192 hours at the same
venue won them a place in the book of records. It was briefly
bested by Canada with a performance lasting 200 hours.
