In less than 24 hours, the first New Zealand band to headline a sold-out concert at the iconic Western Springs Stadium will be taking to the stage!

For just ONE night only, Six60 will be rocking out to a crowd of 50,000 fans at the historic event.

So, if you're going to the concert, here’s everything you need to know …

Key information:

Fans are reminded that Ticketmaster is the only authorised ticket seller for this concert. No responsibility is accepted for tickets purchased from unauthorised sellers or resellers and invalid tickets may be refused entry.

Say hello to the cameras when you spot them. A documentary about the band will be filmed on Saturday so your attendance to this gig could very well be recorded for posterity.

At the event, should you ever feel like your safety is at risk, or if you require any type of assistance, text the word ASSIST followed by a space and then your message and location to 260. Alternatively, you can ask for "Angela" at the bars, food stalls or any venue staff. They'll know you're asking for help discreetly and they'll know how to assist you.
