Six60 headlined the concert, which was hosted in Waitangi, New Zealand.

Social distancing seemed to be a distant memory as thousands of people stood shoulder to shoulder without masks.

It looked like it was an event not to be missed.

Leaders in other countries have used the concert as an example of the success of strict lockdown measures.

The vibes seemed to be high and a reminder of better days to come.
