Pakistan recently set a new Guinness World Record: for ‘most cars in a drive-in music concert’.
The record was created at a musical show in Islamabad featuring singers Bilal Khan, Ali Azmat, and Atif Aslam. The organizers of the concert in an interview with the Arab News said that they approached the Guinness World Records (GWR) with the interest to set the record.
GWR then created a new category and set a minimum threshold of 1,000 cars. Ultimately, more than 1,500 vehicles arrived at the concert venue. “I can now confirm that as you have surpassed that minimum, it gives me great pleasure to officially recognize a new Guinness World Records title,” GWR official adjudicator Jack Brockbank said.
While drive-in musical events found a niche during the pandemic all around the world, they have finally made their way to Pakistan, providing people a chance to listen and watch their favorite music icons perform without having to leave their cars.
Jazz Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim said that the success of drive-in cinemas organized by the company in the past had encouraged it to “be part of another first, a drive-in concert.”
According to the organizers, the idea was to set a world record. However, their priority is also to provide families and the youth safe entertainment in the new normal said the management.
