The concert was moved to the newly refurbished Western Springs Bowl from Spark Arena due to high demand.<\/p>\n
Venue owner-operators Auckland Stadiums and T\u0101taki Auckland Unlimited have both been approached for comment.<\/p>\n
Herald entertainment reporter Mitchell Hageman said after 20 minutes of no action, the crowd remained in relatively good spirits but were getting slightly frustrated, taking the opportunity to go to the toilet and grab a drink. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe crowd around me is fixated on security trying to catch a gatecrasher.\u201d<\/p>\n
But as the wait neared 40 minutes, the crowd started to grow restless. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m disappointed. She sounded fine for the first three songs, so I don\u2019t know why she\u2019s gone off,\u201d one concertgoer said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf they cancel, I hope they refund everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like even if they go on with the show, it\u2019ll be rushed because of the curfew. It\u2019s such a disappointment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cHow hard is it to plug something in and out again?\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s understood that the event has a curfew of 11pm.<\/p>\n
When Dean finally reemerged, she apologised for the delay.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so sorry about that, everybody. Thank you for waiting,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s never happened before. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for waiting, everybody – we\u2019re still going to have a good evening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The concert was moved to the newly refurbished Western Springs Bowl from Spark Arena due to high demand.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,51,1558,14801,3595,25759,309025,35196,156,1360,5511,141525,111,139,69,15363,5423,4625,4626,4918,26660,5433,1529,34890,102],"class_list":["post-633378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-auckland","tag-been","tag-british","tag-by","tag-concert","tag-deans","tag-difficulties","tag-entertainment","tag-having","tag-just","tag-marred","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-olivia","tag-plagued","tag-singer","tag-songs","tag-soul","tag-sound","tag-stage","tag-three","tag-walk","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
