Australian hard rockers AC/DC faced various technical problems in a Wellington, New Zealand concert last night. Fans were left "thunderstruck" after the band was forced from the stage at Westpac Stadium because of technical problems caused by strong winds and rain. The band had played just two songs before being forced from the stage and returned almost an hour later. Local promoter Sandra Roberts said the band stopped the show while power problems affecting the sound quality were fixed.

The band was off stage for more than 30 minutes, leaving a crowd of about 30,000 fans waiting in wet and windy weather conditions. Roberts said the band had been eager to return to the stage as soon as they could. Wild Wellington weather was almost certainly the cause of the electrical fault, she said.

"There's high wind driving rain into the stadium so a bit of water has got into some of the electrical equipment."

AC/DC is playing two concerts on their final tour of New Zealand, and are to play at Auckland's Western Springs on Tuesday.
