When Ariana Grande performs in Auckland on Saturday, she'll be on-stage in front of a huge crowd without a single bag between them.
Strict security measures have been announced for the 'Problem' hitmaker's first ever New Zealand concert that may cause some inconvenience - especially to ticket-buyers who haven't gotten the message.

Grande's safety measures follow a suicide bombing at a concert she held in Manchester earlier this year that killed 23 people.
"NO BAGS of any size will be allowed into the arena," Spark Arena says on its website.
"There will be no coat check for you to leave your bags at so please leave all clutches, small purses, big purses, handbags, backpacks, and any bags you may have at home."
Spark Arena also says that no cameras of any sort will be allowed into the venue, with the exception of mobile phones - which means it's not the strictest rules ever enforced at the venue.
In 2013, rock band Tool performed at what was then Vector Arena and enforced a strict ban on any mobile phone use at all, with security guards constantly roaming the venue making sure nobody was sneakily texting.
