Atomic!

Hailing the Pioneering Women of Rock

NOVEMBER 21, OPERA HOUSE, WELLINGTON

NOVEMBER 22, ISAAC THEATRE ROYAL, CHCH

NOVMEBER 29, AUCKLAND TOWN HALL, AUCKLAND

After the incredible success of last year’s concerts, Atomic’s all femme line-up returns for Atomic! 2.0 – a celebration of the pioneering women of rock.  Get ready for a night of Blondie, Eurythmics, Pretenders, Patti Smith, Garbage, Alanis Morissette, Hole, Joan Jett & a whole lot more.

Led by our own rock doyenne Julia Deans, ATOMIC! 2.0 harnesses the energy of an all-femme line-up of musicians, performing a heaving catalogue of hits fronted by women who kicked down doors and rewrote rock’s rules of engagement and those that continue to do so.

Also joining are Aotearoa power players Boh Runga, Dianne Swann and, for a show of maximum impact and variety, are acclaimed psychedelic artist Gussie Larkin (Mermaidens, Earth Tongue) and noir folk star Jazmine Mary – all supported by an incredible group of musicians – Ladyhawke’s Ilayda Tunali on keys, Mareea Paterson on Bass, Karen Hu on drums and Rebel Reid on lead guitar.

Don’t miss these modern legends paying it back to some of the greatest performers of our times: a hitlist rooted in the glories of the past and those that continue to push the boundaries. As Debbie Harry said way back in the day, “the only place left for rock to go is toward more girl stars. There’s nothing left for men to do”.
