Kiwi's Go Cuckoo For AC/DC!!!
Filed under: Music Minute > Wacky, Tacky & True
Wow! Who knew that the Kiwi's were AC/DC fans, let alone ROWDY AC/DC fans?!
While the band performed at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand, concert goers pretended they were at a club at the Jersey Shore and descended into absolute chaos, resulting in over 50 arrests for drunk and disorderly behavior, and 6 ambulances being called to the venue to take care of the drunks and the drugged.
Holy SHIZ!!!
As if the story couldn't get any crazier, Inspector Mike Coleman, apparently one of the most CHILLAX cops ever, insists the amount of debauchery was "not bad, (for) a full moon and a nice hot night."
We're moving to New Zealand!

Aaron Carter Looks GOOD!
I'm pretty sure ACDC are from Australia?
plus they're considered a hard rock bands; heavy shit happens at a rock concert perez.
HAHA Sounds like it was a fun night!
it was an awesome night, town was even better afterwards because the races were on aswell so it was a city full of bogans and pretentious types….and it was mayhem…BEST NIGHT EVER!!
I could hear them from my house both nights!!
oh and heyjudette, he doesnt say they are from nz just that they played here…read ya idiot
The full moon this past weekend was amazing –
Haha damn straight! New Zealand is awesome
We can get pretty rowdy
That's what happens when a gig goes off fuckwit…get out more…diversify your tastes.
The only injuries at the flea circuses Mario put on were when the handful of lemmings that made up the audience made a run for the exit.
Since AC/DC are from Australia, it's no big surprise that New Zealanders love them.
It was actually a blue moon
OMG!!!! This got on Perez?!
Mikey is my boss - and the MAN!
Was a great night to be at work, sooooo much fun
Wellywood was Rockin'!
Uhm, hello whoever judette is he didn't say they were from NZ anywhere in that article, re-read perhaps. And omg no please do not move to NZ
WOO NZ'ers are tops! best country in the world everyone must come!
You're such an idiot, Perez! AC/DC are from Australia so the chances of "Kiwis" liking them is pretty fucking high.
It's to be expected at the capital of an alcoholic nation. And DaffyReck, it was not a blue moon. A blue moon is the 13th full moon of the year - The last one that happened was on New Year's. They only happen about every 20 years.
Perez, no offense, but you don't use an apostrophe s for plurals. Come on, you went to NYU!
tobyralphydog aka idiot. i meant it's no wonder new zealanders would be impressed with acdc when the band is from australia.. he blatantly says who knew kiwis liked acdc? well obviously when they're almost home grown he would.
read fuckwit.
hey blogdie, you're an idiot. Just because a band is from somewhere close doesnt mean we would automatically like them more than any other country. And yeah i think he knows they are from Australia
Re: C.E.W – omg you guys are fucking idiots!!!! i'm saying they're frmo australia so obviously nz'ers are going to like them!! perez is saying who knew that kiwis liked them? well fucking duh they're frmo next door. you guys need to learn to read yourselves! dumbasses.
oh my god why am i so pissed off that i was called an idiot and need to learn how to read by you fucking people. i need to not go on perezhilton anymore and voice reason because you people just make me mad!
Always wanted to visit New Zealand, seems like such a relaxed and chilled out beautiful country with the best accent (of course i won't know if thats true until i visit). But still… and heyjudette- they may be from australia but they can still play concerts in different countries.
all of you saying nz'rs like australians cos their next to eachother are twaddlefaces! australia and new zealand have had a love hate (mostly hate) relationship with eachother for YEARS!! its like canada and the us!!! retards the lot of you!!!
Re: koe – AHHH I GIVE UP EXPLAINING MYSELF. EVERYONE ON HERE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO READ STATEMENTS CORRECTLY. i mean i know i don't make sense sometimes, but how many people can be confused by what i'm saying? holy shit. i quit perez hilton. and you people are making me not like nz.
i'm going to go listen to if you want blood.
heyjudette you are truely a retard since when do countries that are next to eachother automatically like eachother??? your ignorance makes me laugh
We already have a enough dickheads in this country without you moving here. When they play in Akld there will no one left in west Auckland that's for sure lol
lol perez u dont need to be so surprised by new zealand we are a cool country and most the population loves ac/dc and not coz its Australian Dark Phoenix but coz they rock!!
Re: heyjudette – Oh i'm sorry, I thought maybe you got confused, I misread things sometimes- I'm sure you don't hate NZ
Are you kidding?! Kiwis LOVE ACDC and we know how to party!!!!! Cant wait till Thursday night and their next gig, its going to be even crazier!!!
PS u should totally come to NZ hands down the best country you could ever live in!!!!
Hell yeah you wanna move to New Zealand, we fucken rock
Ha-ha. And now American's know that New Zealand exists and maybe the can start putting us on their fucken maps lolz!! Unfortunately we do seem to have a drink problem here lol….
LOVE FOR NEW ZEALAND! Best place in the world, come on down y'all
oh yeah perez, so surprising that NZ would be fans of an AUS band, because of the huge geographical and cultural difference. sometimes you appear so stupid.
I didn't go but I live in New Zealand and believe me EVERY concert is like that!! I went to basshunter and pretty much the same thing happened. Its just our we roll!! we love 2 party
Re: alip – OMG shame! by your logic you MUST like ALL canadian bands because your next to them!!!! Are you saying americans cant like ozzy bands coz they are too far away??? LOL FAIL!!!
Re: heyjudette – perez is talking about a concert they performed in New Zealand, not that complicated heyjudette
Another sign that Mario is out of touch… AC/DC is an Australian band — OF COURSE people from NZ go nuts for them. The only massive band to ever 'come from the land down under' (Men at Work was a distant second, lol).
Like heyjudette said, it was a HARD ROCK show - people party, unlike when you go see fucking Slimey play to 100 people.
LOL… GO THE KIWIS!
omg!! im a nzer- west auclander, believe me more than half of nz wouldnt knw ACDC was australian- we give aussie bands more of a hard time because they are australian- aussie is like our brother, it all gud for us to pick on them, but if anyone else does expect us to try and protect them. You havent seen nufing yet, nxt show auckland- WESTIE INVASION - all of west auckland will be there wif there skinny jeans and mullets and all packed wif a chilly bin of beer that they will try to sneak in . AND right on perez, NZ ROCKS
Time for you Perez to make a glam entrance to NZ!! Summer (somewhat), parties and shopping. Who could ask for more!xx
New Zealand knows how to party!! I live in wellington and can tell you firsthand its an amazing place!
ps love that a story about nz got on perez! keep them coming lol!
HeyJudette - learn to ignore the idiots. I got your point. For the rest of you - generally speaking - before a band makes it worldwide they often become famous in their own country & their neighbouring countries, making it extremely likely that they would have a large fan base in NZ. She never said all NZ'ers had to love AC/DC because they were from the country next door. For Perez (or an idiot intern) to say "who knew the kiwi's were AC/DC fans" is just ignorant of the bands down-under roots.
Guys calm down! Heyjudette was highly likely meaning that New Zealanders would know who AC/DC are because they are from Aussie. Canada and America are way bigger than New Zealand and Aussie so theres more of a chance we know each others bands.
Anyway I heard that it was full of booze drugs and bogans and it was a hell of a night! wish tickets were cheaper.
Its AC/DC, they're fans do get wild!! They're classic Rock 'N' Roll!!! I'm a fan and I would love to see them in concert but they'll probally retire by the time I'm old enough to go to their concert. New Zealand must be a fun place to be.
I get you also Judette.Its logical and ACDC have been around in our neck of the woods for a long time
Yes, AC/DC is from Australia… Most of you probably don't know because you're ignorant Americans who only enjoy awful music like Rhianna, Justin Timberlake, and that god awful Beyonce… But AC/DC is the second best-selling band of ALL TIME. Second only to The Beatles, the heavy-weight champs of music. If you'd all get out of your little bubbles and enjoy some good music once in a while, you'd see that this happens at most AC/DC concerts.
Why "Of course" should NZers like ACDC because they are from Oz? That doesn't make any sense at all. By that means, all Americans must love Nickelback.
But yay for NZ. Wellington definitely knows how to party! Come and party with us Perez, might I suggest the rugby 7's….
Re: kiwijes – Fully agree!
Auckland is going to get rowdddy!
I reckon auckland's going to be worse tho, dont forget to take picyures of bogan's for zm!
Re: kellibelli – HAHAHAAH yep thats so true bloody bogans but the rest of the west is best after all:P
Actually, Kiwis are less likely to like a band from Australia… and don't go saying things like "they're almost homegrown" to any Kiwi when talking about an Australian band… *shudders*
You all might wanna read up on your Australia/NZ rivalry before visiting us in NZ…
Yeah, you fail to mention that there were 35,000 people at the statdium AND there are, on average, 40 arrests on a saturday night in Wellys. SO um yeah FAIL.
New Zealanders don't like acdc because they're Australian. They make good music.
New Zealanders generally dislike Australia…
It's like America and Canada on a smaller scale..
yep we love our acca dacca lollllllll
Angus Young kicks a*s. All of AC/DC do. Check out youtube AC/DC No Bull in Spain, or in Moscow 1991. Unbelievable. Thunderstruck forces me to dance.
I just got pampered and enjoyed the show very much. They are rare crazy species in this world I have ever found. Almost all the viewers had taken the pleasure of the show.
Haha this is pretty much normal behaviour for us Kiwis and our cops still dont need to carry guns. its pretty great really..
yeah… who knew perez?! It is not very surprising at all that Kiwi's may be fans of an Aussie band… not a giant leap there…
Uh, ACDC is from neighboring Australia — don't understand the surprise
Darling little shorts and white socks on the guy with the "guitard"!
AC/DC RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How weird that a band from Australia would have big-tiime fans in New Zealand?! Strange…
I practically worship Angus Young's guitar playing and stage presence. He is almost unequaled.
50 arrests aint that much at a New Zealand concert!!
they dont get many outsiders visiting over there
heyjudette just needs to shut up and fuck a chicken. no one cares what u meant/mean. shut up you stupid whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm some of these are getting nasty! Anywho, Nz'ers just like darn good music. When The Rolling Stones came over, or the concert I saw, it went off! I am NOT a bogan but am going with some mates to the Auckland one, have my big bro so I am prepared for it! We kiwi's do know how to enjoy a 'do', aside from a few drunks, most of us just want to have a rip roarer! Taking my camera so will be sure to take some pics! Kiwis and Aussies love to rip into each other, but shove us together overseas and we are one, (kiwi's slightly better). Will be wearing black jeans to try and fit in..I have a tattoo on my back, even though it is pretty and big does that count towards fitting in? HA. P.S poor Zoo animals next door to the Western Springs!
still shaking my head at the "Practically homegrown" statement… Does that mean all Americans Like Alanis Morrisette and Celine Dion? Considering you and Canada are practically the same country and all…
It was a freaking amazing night! i was standing in the mosh pit and saw all these people walking back in with bandages on, guys with blood down their face, butterfly stitches over eyes but none of it affected any of them! insane night! cant wait for the auckland show!
Re: smacnz – Yet somehow??????? kiwis arrive here by the boatload…shame
Re: blacklily.of.the.valley – what smacnz meant was we dont like australians! not australia! i find it funny that most of the people commenting on this couldnt even point nz out on a map! and they think that they can comment on theculture and geography. i dont like ACDC but i was in town in Wellington on saturday nigth and it seemed pretty similar to most saturday nights here, just more bars playing rock music
they wouldn't be seen dead on your site fucktard
HAHAHA that's Kiwi's for ya!
We are cool!
Haha and ACDC is the best! We love them here!!!!!
Re: blacklily.of.the.valley – But the great thing about all the Kiwis going to Oz is that it raises the average IQ of both countries. Lucky us!
Re: sandmonkeystar – ur right saturday night was pretty low key for a huge concert like AC/DC…..however saturdays concert sold about 20 thousand tickets less than the thursday concert, town on thursday was awesome. and the amount of people at the concert on thurs was insane. and no kiwis dont like australians…but thats obvious why if u meet an australian.
