Imagine how much faster those Model Ts could’ve been manufactured had Ford’s employees been serenaded by live rock ’n’ roll. Honoring the long tradition of American-made automobiles, the Fourth Guinness World Record Assembly Line Concert wrangles 400 live bands performing for 400 straight hours (until October 7) in the birthplace of industrial mass production. That’s almost 17 days of nonstop live music before an anticipated audience of 55,000 people. This year’s round-the-clock festivities will assist in the creation of an Automobile Heritage Welcome Center, which will celebrate the area’s rich history. The artist lineup is yet to be announced, but expect a joyful mash-up of local and national bands in a variety of styles, along with plenty of food and drinks from local vendors. The only question is: As the 400th hour of music nears, will you still be rolling down that assembly line?
