Famous bands started to travel around the world and in 1964 , New Zealand hosted arguably the most popular band of all time , The Beatles .People were very excited to see The Beatles and the hype around them was known as ' Beatlemania '. Like Justin beiber his one was just Beiber Fever .
Fact #1 The Beatles' first stop in New Zealand was Wellington. Seven thousand screaming fans nearly all of them were young women . Fans waited as the band touched down on 21 June 1964. One girl badly hurt her leg trying to climb a wire fence, and two others were through the fence because of pushing from behind.
They were that famous . So famous a girl hurt herself just to get to them.
Fact #2 - The crowds outside their hotel, the St George, were so large that The Beatles had to be taken in secretly through the bottle shop entrance of the hotel. Management rushed the band up to the third floor balcony so fans could see
them and not crash the hotel.
No Privacy . At all .
Fact #3 -
This went so far . And I repeat . SO FAR! that
Police used dogs to clear crowds from verandahs and other vantage points. Teenagers pushed over and damaged two police motorbikes; there was so much pushing that one of The Beatles’ cars was shunted backwards, even with the
handbrake on.
