In a vibrant and heartfelt tribute to the late rock icon Tina Turner, thousands of revelers at Australia’s most remote music festival, the Big Red Bash, have come together to set a new world record.
A staggering 5,838 participants danced in unison to Turner’s classic hit ‘Nutbush City Limits’ for five minutes, officially establishing a new record for the largest Nutbush dance ever performed. The impressive feat was adjudicated and confirmed by the Australian Book of Records.
The ‘Nutbush’ dance, often dubbed Australia’s unofficial national dance, holds a special place in the country’s cultural fabric. It’s a staple at Australian schools, weddings, and various gatherings, making this record-breaking mass performance a particularly fitting and poignant homage to the legendary singer who passed away last year. The event not only celebrated Turner’s enduring musical legacy but also showcased the unifying power of music and dance in the heart of the Australian outback.
