KEY POINTS:
Like any good rockstar, Liam Finn travels with an entourage.
But when he made two new friends at Auckland Zoo yesterday, it was decided they might be a tad too unwieldy to join his posse.
Finn, who is signed up to play a ZooMusic concert next month, got to meet some of the zoo's residents up close and personal yesterday, including Burma and Kashin the elephants.
Finn spoke to nzherald.co.nz about the experience and shared some tips for tomorrow's Big Day Out.
The ZooMusic series begins this weekend with a concert by Evermore and will run until the end of February.
Tickets are $27, available through Ticketmaster.
UPDATE: A scheduled ZooMusic concert featuring the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, 2 February has been postponed. A new date will be announced soon. Refunds are available and tickets will be valid for the new concert date.

* Evermore with The Electric Confectionaires and Chris Sanders - Sunday, January 20
* Liam Finn with Danny McCrum Band and Odessa - Friday, February 1
* Hollie Smith with Tama Waipara - Saturday, February 9
