Ongoing History Daily: The world’s biggest concert guest list?

No matter what you may think of Oasis, this is a band that sold a serious number of records.  Their biggest remains (What’s the Story) Morning Glory–album number two–which came out in 1995.  Sales have reached over 20 million, including 800,000 in Canada, 4.3 million in the UK and another 4 million in the US. 

With these kinds of numbers, Oasis was insanely popular, especially at home. Their biggest show was an event in Knebworth in England in August 1996.  More than 2.6 million people tried to buy tickets for that gig and only 150,000 got in. 

And get this: the guest list–the guest list–for this one show featured 7,500 names. That may be the biggest of all time.
