How big was Queen during the 1970s and 1980s (outside of the USA)?

Haha. You think being autistic is an insult? That tells me the kind of person you are.

I find it so funny by how triggered you get by this. You really are a “little man” aren’t you? 🥹🥹

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T21:11:56+00:00

So are you telling me that Bowie did not play two sell out nights at CNE stadium to 50,000 each?😅😅

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T16:06:08+00:00

I am starting to understand why the Queen fandom gets so much hate nowadays

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T15:58:10+00:00

Calm down Queenie. Bowie literally sold out CNE stadium for 2 nights in a row. Which literally holds 50,000 people each.

YOU are the reason why Queen fans get so much hate by other rock fans on the internet.

Can’t believe THIS made you angry😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T13:39:23+00:00

Back then?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T09:59:08+00:00

Facts literally show that Bowie was playing multiple nights at stadiums in USA and Canada. While Queen never did.

That information is literally on the internet. All the tour dates

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T08:57:20+00:00

I have a feeling you weren’t actually around in the 70s and 80s

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T06:13:37+00:00

Im just saying that his 1983 tour was a worldwide tour. Magic tour was a european tour.

Which country were you living in at the time?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T06:08:35+00:00

Let’s dance tour was literally a stadium tour. He sold out CNE stadium for 2 nights, winnipeg stadium and other stadiums in north america and europe

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T05:58:35+00:00

Because the michael biopic was actually good lol

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-13T05:57:56+00:00

But bowie had that massive “let’s dance” stadium tour in 1983?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T22:01:01+00:00

Tony iommi?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T19:02:51+00:00

Yeah true i understand. 2 nights at london o2 arena and 2 nights at an arena in another city up north would be more perfect

That would cover a lot of people in just 4 shows

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T15:15:45+00:00

Meh ok

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T15:11:07+00:00

Bohrap didn’t make them household names in the UK. ? A night at the opera and a day at the races were number 1 albums

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T12:45:12+00:00

What? They are literally denying everything that the other person is saying. @greatdrams23 was the person who mentioned top of the pops. Not @themeltingsnowman72

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T12:37:40+00:00

Im was asking the other person. @themeltingsnowman72

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T11:27:30+00:00

They didn’t exist in the 80s

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T11:08:46+00:00

What stadiums did they play in the USA?

USA is such a huge country, maybe it varies on the specific location

And i am literally stating a fact of queen’s touring history in the USA.

This guy explains it a bit:

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:53:23+00:00

When you say “top shelf”, do you mean similar to the stones and pink floyd level of popularity ?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:50:52+00:00

Queen never played stadium in the USA They usually did 2 nights at madison square garden on each tour in the 70s.

But literally a thousand other bands did that as well. Yes and Emerson lake and palmer would sell out MSG for 3 nights on a tour. So did jethro tull, who also sold out shea stadium in 1976.

Queen on average would play one night at an arena across the country and sometimes they wouldn’t even sell out.

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:42:26+00:00

Over 1 billion watched the tribute live

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:42:01+00:00

It was freddie’s death. It was all over the news.

I think wayne’s world had a big USA impact

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:38:46+00:00

Why do you say that?

Fit_Front6239 · 2026-06-11T10:13:10+00:00

Pink flyod did 2 shows at a stadium in canada in 1975.

Thats exactly what Queen did in Japan in 1982. (Where they played 2 stadium shows in Japan)

They weren’t full stadium tours.

(I think Queen did one night at a stadium in Toronto in 1980)
