The Concept
NATCAP: Coral Rave is the late-night counterpart to the NAT GALA.
A high-energy, immersive gathering where music, nature, and culture collide. This year, NATCAP is reimagined as a coral rave — an experience inspired by one of the planet's most fragile, and most regenerative, ecosystems.
Created in partnership with Spotify and Coral Gardeners, the night brings the reef to the revellers — celebrating coral not just as an ecosystem, but as a living soundscape, a creative muse, and a symbol of collective restoration.
The NAT Garden
Where the night's
energy goes
Funds raised through NATCAP tickets directly support the creation of THE NAT GARDEN: a newly planted coral nursery in Tahiti by the Coral Gardeners team, connecting the energy of the night to tangible, living impact.
THE NAT GARDEN · Tiaia, Mo'orea, French Polynesia
Nursery is at Tiaia, Mo'orea, French Polynesia. New coral is only just being seeded; corals grow for 12+ months before outplanting onto the reef.
The Mechanic
Every ticket adopts a coral in THE NAT GARDEN — and you get to literally party in it.
Every guest funds at least one coral in THE NAT GARDEN, guaranteed.
Adopt five corals, tracked live through the night.
Ten corals named and plaqued in the garden's digital record, plus the opportunity to dive to THE NAT GARDEN in Tahiti (travel and accommodation not included).
All payments are made via Stripe on our ticketing system, LUMA.
The Experience
Enter the Reef
This is not a typical afterparty. It's a multi-sensory, nature-led experience — a coral-inspired environment, a curated community of globally influential guests, and music that connects back to nature itself.
Enter the Reef
A reef-inspired environment using projections and light, and real Tiaia footage.
A living soundscape
Coral Gardeners' field recordings become part of the soundtrack — audio stems become part of dancefloor energy.
Rhythm & activism
A live set from DJ KP The Great, bringing rhythm, activism, and connection into one shared moment on the Hudson.
