Disaster Zone

Next week, in the state of Meghalaya (NE India), 8000 drummers will play together to try to beat the simultaneous performance record (they will have to play in sync for at least 5 min.) And enter Guinness as “ Largest Drum Ensemble ” (Source: telugu portal. UPDATE: currently (2025) the record is held by the Hong Kong Federation of Young Groups, with 10045 drummers).
I suppose that the country will be declared a disastrous area.
However, there are also more terrible things. Like the 230 Banjo meeting that hammers "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", or the attempt to beat the record of 1800 harmonics which fortunately failed.

In this regard, the good soul of Douglas Adams comes to mind that, in his Hitch-Hiker ’ S Guide to the Galaxy and precisely in The restaurant at the End of the Universe, speaks of Hotblack Desiato, the dead rock star, and its band “The Disaster Zone” the most deafening band of the Galaxy.
Therefore, from what I remember, the disaster area is an electronic rock band that sounds at a volume that cannot be performed on some planets because their concerts would violate the premises treated of limiting strategic weapons.
The performance takes place by holographic, that is, only the holograms of the band are projected on the scene of the concert which is actually playing on an spaceship in orbit around the planet, or, more often, in orbit around a different planet.
Obviously, with such a volume, the public cannot simply gather around the stage. The wall of the amplifiers reaches a height such as to be mistaken for the Manhattan skyline and for a radius of several kilometers, everything is razed to the ground from the power of the sound waves. The best place to attend the concert is to book a place in the appropriate reinforced concrete bunkers placed about 60 km from the stage.
The band's success also has megagalactic proportions. Their collections are practically incalculable and in fact their accounting has received a degree in Honorem in Meta-Matematica from the University of Princeton.
As a result, the problem of escaping taxes (the whole world is a country) arises. Precisely for this reason the leader, Hotblack descenda, remains in suspended animation for more than 6 (or 8, I don't remember well) months at the year and is declared legally dead, becoming, in fact, the dead rock star.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
