There are many rules to follow in order to break an official Guinness World Record. Here is an overview about the most relevant ones for this record:. Please keep in mind, that these are just a shortened overview.

• This record is to be measured by the total number of different concert events attended.
• For the purposes of this record, a 'concert' is a live musical performance for a paying audience.
• Each concert must be given before an audience in a recognised venue, with an audience capacity of at least 200 persons.
• Festivals do not count. Each venue / concert has to be completely separate.
• All concerts must be advertised and should be accessible to members of the public and press.

• The attendance of the individual attempting the record at each concert must be for at least one complete set from one of the bands performing.
• A logbook must be kept with details of each concert attended, including date, venue and artists performing.
• No artist may feature in more than 5% of the concerts attended.
• The participant must source their own entry for each concert. Complementary tickets (i.e. for reviewers, venue staff, tour support, etc) will not be eligible.
• The event is continuous. The clock does not stop. One year means a complete 365 day cycle including rest breaks.
