I bet you never heard of the polish “Przystanek Woodstock”(between 300.000 and a million visitors every year) or the hungarian “sziget”(about 400.000 visitors every year)…
embarassing…
Where is Monsters of Rock ’91 in Moscow?
What about Live 8/Live Aid?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Michel_Jarre#cite_note-keystosuccess-58
On 6 September that year the Moscow State University became the backdrop for a spectacular display of image projections, skytrackers and fireworks. The event, celebrating the 850th anniversary of Moscow, was viewed by an audience of about 3.5 million, Jarre’s fourth record for the largest ever outdoor concert audience.
Piwo, I’ve just wanted to post it too 🙂
missed out Rolling Stones in Brazil which drew over a million people: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4725050.stm
how about love parade?
What about Tushino Airfield in 1991? 1,000,000+ metalheads can to that one
dude, rolling stones in brazil… 1 million c’mon
hmm.. Pantera, ACDC & Metallica 1991 Moscow. Over 1.5 million.
Jean Michel Jarre has at least 2 positions there.C’mon, you should have been more informed 😉
Rammstein playd if front of a 2 million people crowd on “Live aus Berlin” concert in ’98 according to: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Rammstein
I feel like the festivals and single artist shows should be separated. It’s just really hard to compare a whole bill of artists with a single act.
Missed JMJ’s record breakers in Russia, Paris and Houston, TX.
What about rock in rio, iron maiden joined 1 million people
Where´s MONSTER OF ROCK with 1,5 million people???????? WTF
the first in my lovely nation!! BRASIL!
What do you mean?
love parade 2010 !!!! 1 400 000 ppl , 21 deaths , 500 injured
iron maiden,rush,the rolling stones,and page and plant played to 1 million people in brazil!!!
What about Altimont in Cali, 1969. Not everyone who attended was able to leave alive. =) Gotta love Sonny and his Angels.
Monsters of Rock ’91 in Moscow was the biggest concert of all time.
love parade isnt a concert..
Check your facts everyone and the Guiness Book of Records. Jean michel Jarre dwarfs them all with having the largest gathering of people in history in one place for any event (in this case for a rock concert in Moscow, Paris and Houston respectively, of course), other than for the purposes of war. The world does not consist only of performers of US nationality or those from English speaking backgrounds.
Where is Live Aid 1985? performed simultaneously in London in Wembley Stadium and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia
michael jackson did the biggest shows
Monster’s of Rock ’91 like 2 million people, with Pantera and Metallica
what!!? The no. 1 is not genuine, because it was at the same time with New Year’s Eve. They should state it more clearly, THE LARGEST AND MOST ROCKING CONCERT EVER. Because I bet during Rod’s concert, people just gather and mostly for New year’s event. Only rock and metal concert where people attend TO ROCK THE CONCERT OUT.
Madonna in Poland- 750 000.
Jean Michel Jarre’s concerts in Moscow and Paris La Defense? Seriously???
i dont care, woodstock should be number 1, PEOPLE WERE BORN AT WOODSTOCK…
i like how metallica had 2.5mill. people in moscow in 1991 and there not up there lol
In France Tokio Hotel performed for 500 000 people
You know, there is nothing outside the US 😉
Why couldn’t you put the *YEAR* on each item in the list????
I am so proud of your viewpoint about the world largest concert and the largest audience ever,but,just remember that nobody breaked yet Jarre’s record in Moscow,the event was viewed by an audience of 3,5 millions people,it’s still no.1 in Guinness World Records Book,please,be more informed,this is the fourth Jarre’s record,1st was in Place de la Concorde(14 July 1979),attended by 1million,2nd was Rendes-vous Houston(5 April 1986),attended by 1,5millions,3rd was Paris La Defence(14 July 1990) and 4th was Oxygen In Moskow(6 Sept 1997) attended by 3.5 millions people,and Jarre have many other concerts with an audience more that 1 million,but I was talking here strictly about concerts chronology in Guiness Records Book.But what did you say about the 3 BILLION audience on Monaco Concert………………………… happy for you.
and where is rock in rio ’85 , 400 000 people and Monsters of Rock ’91 in Moscow 1.6m people ????
The Stones had 1 and a half MILLION people in copacabana and it wasn’t at new year’s eve. That’s 1,500,000 people, so you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Beach Boys & others played DC and Philly on same day…over 1.5 million…not sure of the year but on July 4…to benefit renovation of Statue of Liberty…
jean michel jarre should have at least 3 placements in this top ten!
very inaccurate!
This list is a total bullshit. 1st Jarre 2nd Monsters of Rock 1991. New Year’s Eve is the event itself so it can’t be taken into cosideration
What about Metallica and AC/DC in Moscow in 1990. There must have een atleast 800 000 – 1 000 000 people!
Hey hey!!!! Monsters of Rock 1.6 million!!!!!!!!!
Does any of these words means something?
Metallica?, 1991?, moscow?, Monsters of Rock Festival?, 1.6 millions?, Metal up your a**?, Heavy Metal?
I think you guys forgot pink floyd the wall live in berlin. where all of germany east and west were brought together by a 400 metre stage that was 4 storiies high and broardcast live round the world maybe beiigest stage to.
isn’t the Simon ’91 concert missing from this. It outdrew S&G ’81.
Black eyed peas in rio more than 1 million in 2006
Love Parade in Berlin is an electronic music festival that drew 1,400,000 people last year. Where’s that on your list?
Elton central park – 450,000
Diana Ross, central park, 900,000 (est)
dude weres monsters of rock of 1991? it had somewere between 1.6 and 2.5 million people
Urrr….Jean Michel Jarre?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Moscow – 1997 (3,500,000) – WORLDS LARGEST CONCERT!!!!!
Paris – 1990 (2,500,000) – Record Breaker at time
Houston – 1987 (1,300,000) – Record breaker at time
Paris – 1995 (1,200,000)
Paris – 1979 (1,000,000) – Record breaker at time
All of these are larger than this entire top 10 (except Rod Stewart, which equals Jean’s Moscow concert)
Fishbone. Waterloo Records, Austin, TX. October 26, 2011. 12 people attended. Better than Rod Stewart.
