Officials quiet about possible Vector Arena acts

It will still be at least another month before downtown Auckland's Vector Arena is tested under the weight of moshing feet.

Contractors say the work on the 12,000 seat complex will be completed by August 31 at the earliest. But the wait may be worth it with some big name acts likely to grace the stage.

Arena management are still refusing to confirm whether Split Enz will play the big opening night gig. They say they have various things on the boil but cannot yet confirm anything.

However, with powerhouse rock band Pearl Jam set to grace Auckland in November on the southern leg of its world tour, the Vector Arena is the most likely venue.
