The concert lineup for the night featured three bands, with Dick Move kicking off the event, followed by The Breeders, and finally, the Foo Fighters headlining the show.

I was at the Wellington airport last week after the Guns N’ Roses concert and much to my surprise was their private jet. I wouldn’t have known it was their jet if it wasn’t for a security guard that clued me in. I thought it was pretty darn cool.
