| The Police relax in the New Zealand mountains | |
|---|---|
| Date: | 1980-03-04 |
| Location: | New Zealand mountains |
| Attendees: | The Police |
The Police's New Zealand tour should have looked like this:
- 1980-02-29 - Christchurch Town Hall
- 1980-03-01 - Auckland Town Hall
- 1980-03-02 - Wellington Town Hall
- 1980-03-04 - Auckland Town Hall
The first Auckland show sold out, so a 2nd concert was organized for today.
The most probable version of events is that only one New Zealand concert was actually played - at Christchurch Town Hall on 1980-02-29.
Then the "facts" get a bit confusing (check out the References section at the bottom). The Police may have cancelled a concert at Wellington Town Hall today. As Sting had lost his voice The Police went to the New Zealand mountains to relax for a few days.
