Te Wai Ōrea Western Springs Bowl is the newly upgraded outdoor concert venue on Stadium Road, about five minutes' drive from The Fern.
Event-day parking and road access around Western Springs are limited, so organisers recommend public transport or ride-share — check Auckland Transport's event page for special buses. From The Fern it's a short Uber; leave your own car in your reserved space and you won't be fighting the post-show traffic out of Western Springs.
Make a day of it: the lake walk, Auckland Zoo and MOTAT are right next door, and the bars and restaurants of Kingsland and Mount Albert are close by for dinner before the gates open.
