An entertainment industry figure says Coldplay bringing a third show to New Zealand is a great sign for future events. 

The pop supergroup has added one more date to their New Zealand tour, making the band the first to play three nights at Eden Park in its 123-year history. 

Greenstone Entertainment General Manager Dean Calvert told Mike Hosking that it's promising news for an industry that was on its knees for much of the pandemic. 

He says it tells promoters there's confidence coming back into the market, so they can take more risks.
