Not to take away from that awesome concert, but Lars has stated several times it was closer to 500k, but somehow the number keeps growing...

> However, Lars explained in the conversation that he doesn’t know the exact number how many people were in the concert, but he heard at the time that there were half a million people attended the show.

> “Listen, it may go up by 100,000 people each year! I heard at the time it was around half a million. Whatever it was, it was a f*ck-load of people.

I just went with the wikipedia article which has two sources, both just newspaper articles, so who knows.

It's not implausible though. There've been a handful of concerts as large as 3 million apparently. That just boggles my mind. Can you imagine standing on a stage like that?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was just a mess.

See also the reason you should never go to that stupid times square new years party.
