Almost 6,000 Australians came together to break a new Nutbush dancing world record in outback Queensland on Thursday, paying tribute to the late rock ‘n’ roll queen, Tina Turner.
The record-breaking effort was achieved by 5,838 revellers at the Big Red Bash festival, near Birdsville in outback Queensland and raised almost $90,000 for the Royal Flying Doctors Charity.
The iconic line dance is seen as a fundamental part of Aussie culture, regularly heard and danced to at weddings and parties.
Incredible drone footage shows the happy festival-goers dressed in colourful and crazy outfits, as they take part in stepping, kicking and crisscrossing to one of Turner’s biggest hits, Nutbush City Limits, which has celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.
Many of the dancers paid tribute to the legendary singer, who died aged 83 in May this year, in their own whacky way.
It took several hours for officials from the Australian Book of Records to ratify the achievement.
Marshalls patrolled up and down the lines of dancers, striking off any who were not keeping in time or performing the correct moves.
The festival has now broken the record four times, first in 2018 with 1,719 people, again in 2019 with 2,330 participants, again last year with 4,087.
Every July, thousands of people from around Australia head into the desert for one of the most remote music festivals in the world.
This year saw headliners Icehouse, Hoodoo Gurus, The Angels, Pete Murray and many more.
