ZUMAPRESS.com<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFederation Square is near the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where AC\/DC was scheduled later the same day to play their first Aussie gig in a decade as part of their \u201cPower Up\u201d tour.<\/p>\n
Several enthusiastic spectators came to the pipe performance clad in their AC\/DC T-shirts and planned to attend the concert afterward.<\/p>\n
One\u00a0AC\/DC\u00a0fan, Keegan Kohler, who didn\u2019t see the record set, journeyed all the way from Columbus, Ohio, to Australia to make the band\u2019s gig.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Aussie crowds are going to be way better than the US,\u201d Kohler said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be more eventful, more headbanging, more excitement with the crowds.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Guinness World Records had not yet been approached to assess Wednesday\u2019s attempt.<\/p>\n
