Back in 1973, 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer), the grandson of billionaire John Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer), was snatched off the street in Rome by Calabrian mobsters. When the ransom demand for $17 million arrived, most of the family and police dismissed it as a prank.
Paul McCartney – Mt Smart Stadium December 16, 2017
This was a show for the ages. It was the last date on Paul McCartney’s One On One tour and the ex-Beatle pulled out all the stops…an incredible set list, an amazing band, lights, video clips, fireworks…the whole shebang.
Yelawolf – Logan Campbell Centre December 14, 2017
This was a night for full sleeve tattoos and the singlets to show them, a night for short shorts, jorts and active wear, coupled with a lake of Catfish Billy merch, all enveloping a slathering horde of dudebros and their female equivalent.
