From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spark Arena , known as Vector Arena until 2017, has been the busiest arena in New Zealand since its opening in 2007.[citation needed ] Many local, regional and international artists have staged their performance at the venue, spanning a wide range of musical genre. Non-concert entertainment events are also included below and all events are arranged in a chronological order according to years.[ 1] [ 2]
Red Hot Chili Peppers became the first major headlining act to stage a concert at the Vector Arena.
Taylor Swift concluded her Speak Now World Tour with 3 sold-out shows at the arena in March 2012. She then returned to the venue again the following year for another 3 sold-out shows on her Red Tour . Eason Chan became the first Chinese and Asian artist to perform at the venue.
