theboombox

A mobile, zero-emission music and event platform.

A retro caravan re-engineered into a professional, self-contained DJ and event stage — premium QSC sound, its own battery power, towed by an EV. It arrives, opens, and the party starts.

Concept design by Rollercoaster Design · launching October 2026

One caravan. A whole event stage.

No venue power, no scaffold build, no generator hum. theboombox carries everything a professional show needs and deploys in under an hour.

🔊

Premium QSC sound

Deployable tops and bass stacks each side of stage, rooftop fills on the truss — festival-grade sound from a caravan footprint.

🔋

Battery powered

Runs a full performance day on its own silent battery bank. No venue power, no cables across the grass, no diesel.

Ready in under an hour

One tow vehicle, one crew. Arrive, deploy, play — and packed down just as fast when the show's over.

🎧

A proper DJ booth

Pro-spec players and mixer, fold-open performance window, LED signage — plus access to Auckland's best DJs through Hudge's network.

🌦️

All-weather, all-year

Weatherproof for outdoor NZ conditions — from midsummer festivals to a mid-winter Matariki evening.

🌿

Genuinely zero-emission

EV-towed and battery-run — an event platform your sustainability story can actually lead with.

Anywhere the crowd is, we set up.

Festivals, matchdays, public programmes, brand launches, private parties — if people gather there, theboombox performs there.

Festivals
Side stages, genre stages and chill zones with main-stage production values — without another scaffold build.
Stadium matchdays
Fan zones, tailgates and forecourt atmosphere — in and out inside the tightest fixture-day windows.
Council & public events
Squares, parks, laneways and waterfronts — professional staging with a light footprint and no power infrastructure needed.
Brand activations
A fully wrappable, photogenic stage that draws a crowd and holds them — dwell time no static signage buys.
Corporate & private
Launches, summer parties, weddings and birthdays — a complete show that arrives on a towbar.

The man behind theboombox

HUDGE — Dave's graffiti tag, painted across the Auckland sky
Dave "Hudge" Hudgins · Founder

Hudge has spent his life behind Auckland's decks. DJ, event promoter and self-confessed vinyl tragic, he's the founder of HudgeNZ — the event management and DJ outfit behind functions, festivals and parties across Tāmaki Makaurau — and the guy your favourite DJ calls when their Technics need surgery, in his other life as the Turntable Doctor.

Every Sunday morning you'll find him on Auckland's 95bFM hosting Mass Appeal, 10am–midday — two hours of the good stuff. The rest of the week he's building theboombox: the stage he always wished existed, now hitting the road October 2026.

Book theboombox and you don't just get the rig — you get Hudge's network of Auckland's best DJs, and a host who's played every kind of crowd this city can throw at you.
