The small city of Cesena in Italy is not usually on the touring radar of the world’s biggest bands. With a population of only 100,000 people, its residents usually have to travel to Milan, Rome, or nearby Bologna for a show.
However, that changed in 2015 when more than 1,000 people from Cesena gathered in a park to play the Foo Fighter’s song ‘Learn to Fly’. The huge coordination effort and well executed music video was a petition to the Foo Fighters to come and play a show in their city.
The Foo Fighters responded with a show in Cesena in that same year.
The Cesena video now has more than 55 million views on YouTube, and is an amazing example of what a group of passionate people can do with the power and scale of the internet.
