According to one nice little tour guide published a wee while ago on Brian's site, they are planning a South American/Australian tour. This was in the initial planning though so who knows.
Why touring Australia when Austria is so much nearer...
...and keep in mind, all that´s missing is an A and L !!! Does that make up for travelling through the universe? :-)

Queen weren't popular in Australia. I mean, in 1974 they were announced as a bunch of tarts, idiots.
I'm surprised they aren't going to Australia but I'm not surprised we haven't heard a peep down here.
NZ gets ignored by everyone, they haven't even thought about bringing WWRY to Auckland yet. I guess they don't think it's worth all the hassle and money etc. to play for a comparatively small crowd when they can go all over Europe much cheaper and have massive crowds.
The problem with Australia is that it's such a huge country they have to play in three or four different cities. In Europe people can often easily drop into another country to see a concert if it's not going to be in theirs.
Pity, because I'd probably go to Aussie to see them too. As it is I'm going to the UK in February and I'll be seeing WWRY there.

Dear dragonzflame
When you missed out on WWRY - you could have come to Melbourne, it was on here for about a year (I think).
I am sorry that NZ gets left out so much from most band tours. I hope we can just let Queen know that we want them - it is up to them if they come or not - but at least this letter will make up for some of the bad times they have had here when they toured in the early days.
If you would still like to join us you are welcomed - if they come to Melbourne it shouldn't be too expensive for you to get here and go to their concert - (well it would be cheaper than flying to Japan or Europe to hear them play). If it happens and you do come to their concert in Melbourne let me know please. (Note for future reference).
Thanks for your input and I hear what you are saying and it happens to Australia too. I am just one person who is thrying to change this by letting Queen know WE WANT THEM HERE. One voice is not enough but a group of voices are IMO.

Dear Serry...
No it is not me who makes the rules at QZ but I will not take abuse on a post like this nor insults against Australia or Australians.
I am trying to get the biggest and best thing to ever happen to Australia for ages to occur - Queen to tour here again.
If people in QZ are not interested then just move and read on - There is no reason for anyone to bash a post like this and if I see it I will pull them up on it - I did not insult them I am just trying to get a job done here and people that are bashing this post are just getting in the way - there are hundreds of posts that they could bash but why would they even bother with this one - it seems stupid to me and I'm not going to take it full stop.
Go and look on the other posts there are long term fans that have used QZ for ages that are fleeing these boards because of the bashings they are getting. Well if I see it on my posts and it is out of place or out of line I can comment as well and I will. What I said was not half as bad as the abusive personal attacks the bashers on these boards are using. If they want to bash my posts then fine, I have other posts up they can really bash and I wouldn't care - at the end of the day they won't make me run away. I stand my ground darling!

Rubbish. Queen were very popular here. They came back and toured in 1976 and did the whole country and came again in 1985 and did the east coast. Both times the tours were sellouts. One bad experience with an ignorant announcer at a festival in 1974 when they were effectively unknown across Australia doesnt make them unpopular here forever. Bohemian Rhapsody was number one here for 9 weeks straight only a year or so later, so I dont think it was a big problem for them. Much more likely it was the huge distances and expense to get to a small population of fans - meaning that even now, the whole of Australia [which is the size of the US] has only about 22million people in it and back then had about 16 million or so.
Heres hoping Brian, Rog and Paul come to Oz next year tho... and particularly to Perth where I and my friends are, otherwise Im gonna go broke flying around the country.

PS. Zebonka - was at the BDO that you listened to! Great day. I had freebies and was sitting up in the grandstand with friends watchin it. Very cool. One of my friends is a huge Queen fan and lives very close to you in Claremont. There are lots more of us Queen fans out there than people seem to think <grin>

Aw, gee, cheers Isis :-)
IF they do come to Aussie, my friend and I have been talking about going. It's kind of lucky in a way that it hasn't happened yet because I'm a student and the longer I have to wait the more likely I am to be able to afford it!
I just think it's a shame that NZers would have to cross the ditch at all - and also sad that Auckland only ever got one concert.
What they need to do is perform at the Big Day Out! It would piss the stupid teenagers off but at least we'd get what we want :-)

Well, the Australian people must be very sarcastic, to announce a band as "a bunch of tarts".

Take your hand off it please, this sort of fiddling is forbidden in public.
Look, he was probably just trying to clear the way for people who actually had an interest. Give 'im a break.
Rick - we are not idiots. That was 1974, why don't you just go ahead and call Germany a country of butchers? :P

ROCK ON!
It's always good to know that there's Queen fans around... thought I was the only one. :D
P.S
Rick, what kind of shit is this?
"The Australian people must be very sarcastic to announce a band as a 'bunch of tarts".
There's almost twenty million people in this country, and you're basing your theory on the opinion of a bunch of drunkards who went to a concert they didn't deserve... thirty-one years ago? Jesus.

As I understand it, the ONE occasion where Queen had a problem in this country was at the Sunbury Festival in 1974. The band were actually very well received by the audience by the end of their set, but the compere/dj tried to whip up the crowd against them by telling them they didnt want to cheer for a bunch of bloody pommy poofters when there were great Aussie acts like the headliner still to come. He eventually prevailed. I dont think they were ever actually called tarts. Just one more example of how the internet spreads rumours far and wide as fact, and people like Rick who obviously know nothing about it or Australia except it as fact.
As for Queen fans in Perth, well apart from our host Richard who is a friend of mine, there are lots of us! Fan gatherings, much fun had - two good friends of mine have Red Special replicas. One of them plays it regularly and is in the process of jamming with friends and working toward forming a band. So - lots of great Queen inspiration and fans out here in the wild wild Wait Awhile <grin>
