We've had a jam-packed start to the year and there's plenty more to come! Make sure you are up-to-date with what's coming up.

Elton John

The legendary Elton John sure made up for the rain with an incredible performance under the roof on 4 February. The rocket man played an impressive three hour set, stopping only to thank the audience and to speak on issues close to his heart. Having the chance to say goodbye to the man who put the Stadium on the map for concerts made a wonderful show that much more special.

Check out some of our photos from the concert below.

Highlanders v Sharks

The Highlanders season kicked off on 7 February. It wasn't the start of the season the boys were after, losing to the Sharks 20 - 42. The game also saw the launch of the Members' Loyalty Programme - remember to scan the QR code on the back of your primary Membership card to collect points on the money you spend while at the Stadium.

Queen + Adam Lambert

To top off a busy few weeks rock icons Queen + Adam Lambert blew the roof off the Stadium with a fantastic show last Monday. Featuring the biggest stage we've ever had, Adam Lambert, Brian May and Roger Taylor put on a masterful show to the delight of fans. It was also great to have a number of Members join us for dinner in the restaurant before the show.

Happy 10th Anniversary to Mai Maslin

Later this week marks 10 years that Mai Maslin has worked at Dunedin Venues. Mai works in our finance team and does many of your invoices. Mai is our longest serving employee having been with us since before the Stadium first opened.
