- Christchurch has officially become the second most populated city in New Zealand.
Statistics New Zealand figures show Christchurch has a population of 382,200, just over 300 more than the capital, Wellington, but is still far behind Auckland
With the growth in Christchurch, little has been done to improve the city with it being unsafe and the inner city being a big grey mess(surprising that it's "The Garden City")! But with a proactive new Mayor hopefully things will turn around!
Other NZ news:
- Kings of Leon have announced a three-date NZ tour playing March 25: Vector Arena, Auckland, March 27: TSB Bank Arena, Wellington and March 29: Westpac Arena, Christchurch!
- AC/DC singer Brian Johnson has confirmed the band will be coming to New Zealand as part of its "Black Ice" world tour in 2010. I would expect them to play Auckland's Vector but it is unknown how many shows they will play and where with details still to be confirmed.
- Kiwi rapper Savage has sold more than a million singles of his (NZ #1) hit "Swing" in America. It is currently sitting at No. 35 on the Billboard pop charts after appearing on the 2007 Hollywood hit movie "Knocked Up. His second album, titled "Savage Island", will be released November 26.
- This Wednesday "Prison Break" is set to return to TV3 following "Heroes" (which returned last week) at 9:30PM. This is the fourth season of the hit show and it looks like it may be getting cancelled in the US, but hopefully not as i really enjoyed the first two seasons (not so much the third) and this season looks to have some promise.
