AUCKLAND – Bruno Mars
conquered Auckland last week with four
incredible totally sold-out shows at Spark Arena on February
27, 28 and March 2, 3.
The Bruno Mars 24k Magic World Tour presented by Live Nation has set a new record for the highest audience attendance at Spark Arena for a concert artist, attracting 48,783 fans from around New Zealand across the four nights.
“It was a thrill to watch Bruno and his band practice their own particular brand of magic for New Zealand fans for four stunning nights”, said Michael Coppel, Chairman of Live Nation Australia.
“Congratulations to Bruno for setting a new attendance record at Spark Arena in Auckland for The Bruno Mars 24k Magic World Tour. We thank you for the four incredible shows you played here, and for giving your New Zealanders, who travelled from all over the country, an unforgettable experience that has now officially gone down in history,” said Roger Field, CEO, Live Nation Australia and New Zealand.
Returning to New Zealand after his highly acclaimed shows at the same venue in 2014 Bruno left no doubt as to his phenomenal stage presence and vocal prowess. The critics raved:
