Concordstock Record-Breaking Event

ConcordstockThank you for your interest in participating in the Guinness World Record attempt for Largest Guitar Ensemble.

Online registration is now closed.

However, same-day registration will be available on-site directly across from Todos Santos Plaza in front of Half Price Books, 1935 Mt. Diablo Street (at Willow Pass Road) beginning at 4:30 pm.

We suggest that you arrive plenty early and sign-in, at which time you will receive a numbered ticket to get one of the remaining free Concordstock tee shirts (pre-registrants have first priority to free tee shirts, with a total of 2,000 shirts available). Same-day sign-ups receive a free "I Was There" Guinness Record guitar pick.

With any extra time that remains we invite you to shop and dine at any of our several wonderful stores and restaurants around the Todos Santos Plaza.

A few final points to keep in mind:

  • Please consider going Green and also alleviating parking and traffic congestion by taking BART or some other form of public transport.
  • If you need to drive to the event, please note that, with the exception of Willow Pass Rd., for public safety the streets immediately surrounding Todos Santos Plaza will be closed at Plaza intersections (applies to Grant, Salvio, and Mt Diablo Sts.).
  • There are two free City garages in which to park, both accessed off Salvio St.: Salvio at Concord Ave., and Salvio at Colfax St. It is anticipated that THESE GARAGES WILL FILL EARLY. So, again, plan to arrive early.
  • If you haven't already done so, don't forget to download the lyrics and chord changes to This Land is Your Land (key of G). Thank you!
