Wikimedia commons The record of 363 hours still needs to be approved. In order to qualify for a spot in the Guinness Book of Records the breaks between acts should not exceed 5 minutes, and the minimum amount of visitors should be ten at all times. The "move" to the "Romein Pop podium," where the concert was going to be wrapped up, was accompanied by the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, who performed a walking show, in order to meet the requirements. The proceeds of the concert will also go to the 3FM campaign "Serious Request," which is also held in Leeuwarden. It is not yet known how much the "Serious Record" campaign yielded.
