JAKARTA - The country of New Zealand is holding its biggest concert since the COVID-19 pandemic took place.

Launching The Independent, Monday, April 26, rock band Six60 held a concert with sold out tickets on April 24 yesterday. The concert was held at Eden Park, New Zealand's largest sports stadium.

Band frontman Matiu Walters said, “We know what lockdown is like. Lousy. And we don't know if we can do the concert again, but we're lucky, for some reason, here in New Zealand. "

This concert is proof that New Zealand has managed to overcome the pandemic that occurred in its country. Since the pandemic began, the country has recorded only 2601 cases and 26 deaths.

This figure is considered low when compared to the number of cases and deaths in other countries.

In addition, this concert does not require health protocols such as mandatory wearing of masks or social restrictions. Everyone wrestled together, touching each other and dripping with sweat.

Enthusiasm also comes from the community. More than 50 thousand spectators are said to have attended the concert.

Mayor Phil Goff said, "Our city is showing the world this week that in the midst of a pandemic, we can live close to normal in Auckland."
