Watch: Special Haka performance for Adele

Footage from Steph Rowe captured the 30-strong kapa haka group performing a waiata and the Ka Mate haka immediately after Adele's opening song at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday night. Surrounding Adele on the outer-ring stage, the haka brought a tear to the London-based singer's eye and, she said, threw her a little off-key for her own second song. "How amazing was that haka?" Adele asked the 45,000-strong crowd. "Jesus . . . it was beyond moving."
