Thousands of Fleetwood Mac fans from across New Zealand have begun packing into Forsyth Barr Stadium for tonight's concert.

The atmosphere is building ahead of tonight's gig and by 5.30pm a steady stream of concert-goers were making their way to the stadium on foot.

Alison Knowler, of Invercargill, said the concert had been "a long time coming'' and she was "chuffed'' they were playing in Dunedin.

She had been a fan of the band since 1978 when they released the album Rumours.

Her friend Donna Bowman, also of Invercargill, had been to other concerts at the stadium and thought it was "amazing'' to have such a good venue serving the bottom of the South Island.

Other fans had come from as far afield as Palmerston North and Auckland.

The gates opened at 4.30pm and the opening act, Australian brother and sister duo Angus and Julia Stone, are due to get the evening under way at 6.30pm.

The concert is expected to finish about 10.45pm.
