Live Photos: Simple Minds & The B-52's - Vector Arena, Auckland

Vector Arena was transformed into a big ol' love shack last night when party-starters The B-52s and their touring buddies Simple Minds played the first of two New Zealand shows for Valentine's Day. The stadium-sized concerts come as Simple Minds put the finishing touches on their 17th studio album (which is due for release in the coming months) and The B-52's are came along for the ride to deliver their first shows on NZ soil since they rocked around the country for A Day On The Green concert series 2009. Photographer Dave Simpson went along to capture the action, check out his great shots below, and if you're in Christchurch you can catch the show on Thursday evening at Horncastle Arena...
