Sir Elton John Concert opening the new Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin

Sir Elton John recently rocked and rolled, in a spectacular debut international music concert at the new Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand.

The 35,500 crowd was the largest seen in Otago at this new purpose-built covered venue. Elton strutted the stage built in Christchurch by ShowQuip. This structure is the largest unit resident in the South Island and capable of staging large international acts. All the truss and hoists were assembled in the Christchurch factory and shipped and assembled in time for the big event.
