Queen

In 2003, just days before the iconic show at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, Queen was riding high on a wave of renewed popularity following the release of their album "The Cosmos Rocks" earlier that same year. This live performance was particularly special as it was part of the 46664 concert series, aimed at raising awareness about HIV/AIDS in South Africa, hosted by the legendary Nelson Mandela, no less! Can you imagine the electric atmosphere? Queen, alongside Zucchero and Thandiswa Mazwai, delivered an unforgettable set featuring classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Radio Ga Ga." The event reflected not only Queen's resilience but also their ability to unite audiences through music in a historically rich context. Plus, it was a rare moment where their classic rock vibes met a real call for social change—what a powerful fusion!
