It’s time. Envirohub's third annual Friends of the Bush - Benefit Gig is back — Supporting our native taonga through music and movement.

A night where electronic music collides with conservation in the Bay of Plenty.

Expect a carefully curated line up of selectors taking you on a journey, every set layered with purpose to move you, all for the cause. Every ticket goes towards purchasing 5 new, specialised traps that are available for loan to the public, supporting the mission of reducing predators in the Bay of Plenty and helping to protect our native birds and bush.

LINE UP

Black Comet Sessions feat. Laughton Kora & Dan - a special live set blending soulful vocals, live energy and deep electronic grooves from the Black Comet crew

Zozo - bringing the UK garage flavours to the Lab. Fast, bouncy and built for the dancefloor

Joe Knows - serving up deep house, latin house and throwback bangers

Peasoup - fun, energetic, sun soaked disco house rhythms, think Glitterbox vibes
