1000 musicians have teamed up to cover "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie in a stadium in Italy.

The various guitarists, bassists, singers, drummers, and keyboardists (plus a few violinists and bagpipers) were all playing as part of Rockin' 1000, an enormous band of volunteer rockers who reckon they're the "biggest rock band on Earth". The "Rebel Rebel" performance was part of a larger That's Live concert at the Orogel Stadium in Cesena, Italy,

Referencing the Rockin' 1000 viral cover of "Learn To Fly" from 2015, founder Fabio Zaffagini tells the crowds afterwards: "Last year, we did something extraordinary. Someone called it a revolution. But this, what you're seeing here behind me: this is the revolution. Musicians from all over the world came together and are giving us an incredible live show. They're just like themselves, but they perform like rock stars, with no one standing out - showing us that with passion, dedication and fucking hard work, we can transform our lives. So stick together, no more conflicts and play rock 'n' roll."
