Chart-toppers Six60 have written a new chapter in their rich history - becoming the first Kiwi band to headline a gig at world-famous sporting ground Eden Park.
A sell-out crowd of about 50,000 were in attendance for the historic night; a gig that followed a successful consent bid with Auckland Council to be able to host music events there.
Before taking to the stage at Eden Park last night, as well as having a series of chart-topping singles and albums, Six60 was the first Kiwi band to sell-out Auckland s other iconic venue Western Springs - which they have now done twice.

Hawaii program for tourists in need may close due to cuts

HONOLULU (AP) A 24-year-old Hawaii program that has helped tourists following traumatic events has said it may have to close.
The Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii said it would not survive beyond this summer if proposed legislative budget cuts take effect, Hawaii News Now reported Wednesday.
The organization was founded in 1997 by the Honolulu Rotary Club because there was no aid organization for visitors.
The group had received $370,000 from the Hawaii Tourism Authority in 2020, but that was cut to about $277,000 this year.
Now, the Legislature is considering cuts to the Hawaii Tourism Authority’s Safety and Security Programs that would eliminate most funding for Visitor Aloha Society.
