We are all about breaking records here in Springfield. It looks like on Saturday June 7th this year SOHO Music Festival Downtown will be attempting to break a world record for the world’s largest rock band! From SOHO’s website:

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the SOHO Music Festival, SOHO will be undertaking the monumental challenge of attempting to break a world record at this year’s festival by creating The World’s Largest Rock Band!

Every year SOHO receives more than 80 band submissions to perform, and while we would gladly showcase all who wish to contribute, our space is limited.  Therefore, in an effort to further our commitment in bringing the entirety of local musicians together, we are accepting the challenge of breaking the current record during SOHO10.

We’re looking for 600+ musicians to perform a three song set at
2 p.m. Saturday, June 7.  Songs will be determined at a later date (although rumor has it the Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” is a strong contender to close the set!)

If you are interested in being one of those 600+ musicians in the world’s largest band you can register with a $5 entry fee that comes with admission to the SOHO Music Festival. Find info on registration right here. SOHO Music Festival will be celebrating its tenth year this year on Friday June 6th and Saturday June 7th downtown. The lineup of bands for this year’s festival will be announced sometime in April.
