Local artists will hit the stage Saturday night for a fundraising concert for people affected by the Christchurch mosque attacks.

Also on the bill are at Freddy's Drop, Hollie Smith, Shapeshifter and Bene.

Tickets are $79 for adults and $39 for kids 12 and under.

"The impact on our Muslim communities has been huge and they are going to need ongoing support for a very long time," Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel said.

"The response of the music industry has been magnificent and we are all grateful for the significance of this contribution to the Muslim community's long-term recovery."
