In Flames just set a new world record during their live performance at Graspop Metal Meeting this Summer! They officially have the world’s crowdsurfing record. An estimated 1600+ people took to the waves of the crowd during their set! Read more about in the band’s statement below. Oh yeah, and there’s video evidence.

During Graspop Metal Meeting earlier this summer, In Flames set a new record for most crowdsurfers during a show at GMM!

This message came from Bert De Beuckeleer, Head of GMM Mainstage Safety Crew:

“According to the full length available footage, we caught 1272 crowdsurfers in 58 minutes with 0 casualties.

The last 15 minutes of your concert were not counted due to a failing camera battery. That’s a pity.

But we can confidently say that more than 1600 crowdsurfers crossed the barriers.

The weight of the crowdsurfers varied between 45 and 145 kg with an average of about 75-80 kg.

At one moment the number of crowdsurfers reached the maximum of what could physically pass over the barriers at once in this configuration. (or we had to stack them

smile emoticon)”

Now, do we have the best fans in the world or what?!
