Nothing but clear skies for Wellington's biggest concert of the year

Nothing but clear skies for Wellington's biggest concert of the year

5 February 2020

Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor kick off their New Zealand tour tonight, alongside Adam Lambert.

Heavy rain and wind threatened the concert yesterday, but MetService is predicting perfect weather for tonight's gig.

Sky Stadium Chief Executive Shane Harmon says it was a close thing, thankfully it's cleared in time.

He says the wind issues lowed down the bill a bit, but they're fine today and everything's on schedule for a great show.

The show moves on to Auckland on Friday, and Dunedin the following Monday.
