When the rock collective CITYROCKS decided to perform Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” they didn’t just cover the song—they transformed it into an unforgettable musical event. Instead of a normal band, the stage was packed with around 400 musicians: guitarists, drummers, bassists, vocalists, and a powerful children’s choir that brought the song’s famous chorus to life.

From the very first guitar chords, the audience felt the song’s familiar pulse, but with a new kind of energy. Hundreds of instruments moved together, like one giant organism. The drums thundered, and the guitars formed a wall of sound that echoed through the venue. The crowd could feel the vibration in their chest, exactly the way rock music should be experienced.

 

 

Then came the moment everyone was waiting for—the children’s choir. Their voices cut through the air, singing “We don’t need no education!” The mix of young voices and seasoned musicians created a contrast that made the message even stronger. What was once a protest of a few teenagers felt like an entire generation speaking at once.

What made the performance special wasn’t only the size, but the purpose. CITYROCKS brings together everyday people—students, professionals, hobby musicians—who play for the pure love of music. On stage, they all looked different, but when the song began, they shared the same rhythm, the same passion, the same heart.

As the final solo soared over the crowd, the audience erupted into cheers. It wasn’t just a tribute to Pink Floyd—it was a celebration of community, unity, and the timeless power of rock.

In that moment, “Another Brick in the Wall” became more than a classic song.
It became a living monument to what music can do when hundreds of voices come together as one.

 

 

The massive rock collective CITYROCKS returned with another unforgettable performance, this time taking on Linkin Park’s “New Divide.” With around 400 musicians on stage, the song’s iconic electronic-rock power transformed into something even more intense and emotional.

From the very beginning, the intro synth melody, normally played electronically, was recreated using layers of guitars and strings. It gave the song a dramatic, cinematic opening, almost like a movie soundtrack performed live. Then the drums came in—dozens of drummers hitting in perfect sync—creating a heartbeat that you could feel in your chest.

“Give me reason to prove me wrong…”

It wasn’t just a cover—it was a tribute.

The chorus exploded. Hundreds of guitars, thick bass lines, multiple drum sets, and a wall of voices crashed together, echoing through the crowd with incredible force. In that moment, the song’s theme of struggle, distance, and resilience felt universal. People in the audience raised their hands, many singing along, moved by the energy of the performance.

they bring together musicians of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Students, professionals, small-town rockers, teachers, parents—everyone plays side by side. The unity on stage reflects the message of Linkin Park’s music: pain shared is pain eased, and creativity can heal.

During the instrumental breaks, hundreds of musicians moved in rhythm like a single organism. You could see smiles, tears, concentration, and pure enjoyment. Even from the back rows, the feeling was unmistakable—this was more than a concert; it was a community speaking through sound.

As the final chorus roared and the last note rang out, the audience erupted into cheers. The performance left a powerful reminder:
“New Divide” may belong to Linkin Park, but its spirit lives wherever people come together to play it with heart.
