The Beautiful Trauma World Tour, presented by Live Nation, has smashed the previous record for the highest concert audience attendance at Spark Arena by any artist, attracting 73,087 fans from around New Zealand across the six nights.
Auckland’s Spark Arena has switched to 100% compostable serve ware for public events. This week, the venue is implementing stage one of its Zero Waste Strategy, replacing all single-use cups and hot food packaging with carefully sourced plant-based alternatives. Compostable waste, which now includes cups, lids, straws, cutlery, napkins, food boxes as well as food waste, will be delivered directly to specialist local composting plant Envirofert, where it will be transformed into quality compost in just three months.
"As well as claiming the record of being the fastest selling tour of 2013 at Vector Arena, The Mrs Carter Show World Tour starring Beyonce, presented by Live Nation, has set a new record for the highest audience attendance at Vector Arena by a solo artist attracting 44,596 ticket buying fans from around New Zealand across the four nights."
Pacific Entertainment and Bluehawk Presents regret to advise that Glen Campbell is no longer able to come to New Zealand and Australia to tour in August as the support for fellow Country Superstar, Kenny Rogers.
