Sydney Guitar Festival Attempt World Record

Kaki King performs at Sydney Guitar Festival 2018, 9-12 August.
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Calling all guitarists and bassists, Sydney Guitar Festival and The Choirboys need your chops for a Guinness World Record attempt at the largest electric guitar ensemble.


Become a part of guitar history as one of 500 players all riffing out the AC/DC classic, 'Highway To Hell' in one place at the same time. Can't play guitar? Don't worry, it's only four chords.

Under the guidance of legendary Aussie rockers The Choirboys, this axe-wielding army will march into history while helping to raise money for the Australian Children's Music Foundation (ACMF), with all profits donated to the organisation.

To sweeten the deal, the ticket price of $45 gets you your very own Marshall MS2 battery-powered amp (valued at $55, batteries included), the perfect rehearsal companion.


Sydney Guitar Festival in 2018 presents the best in guitar players and styles from around Australia and the world.

This year's line-up includes Kaki King on the final touring cycle for her immersive 'The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body' show, legendary guitarist Albert Lee and the Grigoryan Brothers as well as Australian guitar icon Tommy Emmanuel leading a tribute to his late brother Phil.

Experience authentic flamenco with two of Spain's most prominent guitarists Pedro Javier Gonzalez and Paco Lara joining Australia's premier flamenco group Bandaluzia. Z-Star Trinity make their return to Australia as well for SGF, accompanied by soul/ gospel singer Karen Lee Andrews.

Also featuring Rick and John Brewster (of The Angels), Beijing Guitar Duo, Brian Campeau and more, the 2018 Sydney Guitar Festival has everything today's guitar-minded individual could possibly want... except for strings that don't break and picks that won't fall in to your guitar, never to be retrieved again. Sigh.

The SGF 2018 Largest Guitar Ensemble World Record attempt is on at The Concourse (Sydney) 12 August.


Sydney Guitar Festival is on at The Concourse, Enmore Theatre and The Factory Theatre 9-12 August.
