Friends of the Bush Benefit Concert 2026

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 predator 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.
