No. We'll see what happens as the concert gets closer.

I found this mention of the 1980 show in a 1999 article:

From a June 26, 1999 article about Athletic Park in the New Zealand Herald:

Athletic Park has been used for everything from woodchopping and boxing, soccer and minor cricket games, to rock concerts. One of the most famous was by Fleetwood Mac in 1980.

Five minutes before the concert started, a top policeman stumbled across the band indulging in substances which are mentioned in the Crimes Act and wanted to arrest the Macs. Lower-ranked officers persuaded him not to, fearing the crowd would go out of control.
