It’s Taupo Summer Concert time!
Greenstone Entertainment has again delivered a top quality line-up for this year's sell-out tour with Colin Hay of Men at Work fame, Alanis Morrissette, and The Orchestra starring former members of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) as the headline acts.
Just when three main acts seemed more than enough, organisers confirmed the addition of a fourth act, Fairground Saints who hail from Nashville. Their California country sound will bring another dimension to the event.
Taupo District Council's District Events Manager Steve Giles says this year's event is gearing up to be one of the best yet.
"Taupo Summer Concert has become an iconic event bringing so many welcome visitors into our district each year. It's fantastic we have a sold-out event this year for the second year running and we look forward to hosting everyone for the 2018 edition."

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes

❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
