A man has admitted punching a stranger five times during Fleetwood Mac's Dunedin concert after an argument over spilled beer.

Phillip James Harris, 29, of Mosgiel, appeared for sentencing before Judge Dominic Flatley in the Dunedin District Court on Friday.

"I don't understand this behaviour and offending," the judge said.

Fleetwood Mac performed in Dunedin on November 18 last year.

According to the summary of facts, Harris was at the concert at Forsyth Barr Stadium on November 18 when he climbed over chairs belonging to the victim's group, causing him to spill his beer.

A verbal altercation ensued and the pair needed to be pulled apart.

Harris then went to the victim and punched him in the head. As he fell to the ground Harris stood over him and punched him on the head and body before the pair were pulled apart.

The victim suffered concussion, numerous small cuts and bruising to his left eye and right arm.

Harris admitted he was extremely intoxicated and had punched the victim in the head five times in quick succession.

Judge Flatley said Harris ruined the occasion of the concert for his victim and "became aggressive and violent for no reason".

Harris was sentenced to four months' community detention, 250 hours of community work and ordered to pay reparations of $1500
