374 bagpipe players gather at Melbourne’s Federation Square to perform AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock’n’Roll)” and break the world record for the largest bagpipe ensemble. Guardian Australia’s Matilda Boseley captures the moment as an early count showing 358 pipers in attendance grows to 374, comprehensively beating the previous record of 333 set in Bulgaria in 2012. The massive ensemble delivers the iconic Australian rock anthem on bagpipes, creating a spectacular tribute that brings together hundreds of musicians in one of Melbourne’s most recognizable public spaces. The performance showcases the unique combination of traditional Scottish instrumentation with classic rock, honoring AC/DC’s use of bagpipes in the original 1975 recording while setting a new benchmark for bagpipe gatherings worldwide.
