In this highlight from Behind The Hits: Queen, we delve into Queens first ever Australian Tour. Queen, one of the most iconic rock bands in music history, has achieved tremendous success worldwide. However, their initial reception in Australia was far from glamorous. In 1974, shortly after releasing their self-titled album, Queen was scheduled to headline the Sunbury Festival in Victoria. Despite a lackluster start, the band's perseverance and talent eventually propelled them to become one of the highest-selling rock bands of all time in Australia. Urban legends surrounding Queen's performance at Sunbury claim that they were booed off stage and that Freddie Mercury confidently predicted their future success. However, according to Brian May, Queen's guitarist, the crowd's reaction was more rooted in unfamiliarity than outright rejection. May acknowledged that as an unknown group, Queen was not deserving of headlining the festival and found themselves in a difficult situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
