Atomic! 2.0

Following the resounding success of last year’s concerts, Atomic is thrilled to announce the return of its all-femme line-up with ATOMIC! 2.0. This electrifying event celebrates the trailblazing women who have shaped the rock genre and continues to champion those who push its boundaries.

Prepare for an unforgettable evening featuring a dynamic roster of artists performing the iconic hits of Blondie, Eurythmics, Pretenders, Patti Smith, Garbage, Alanis Morissette, Hole, Joan Jett, and many more.

ATOMIC! 2.0 will be led by the acclaimed rock icon Julia Deans, alongside a stellar line-up of Aotearoa’s finest. Joining her are powerhouse performers Boh Runga and Dianne Swann, with a special appearance by acclaimed psychedelic artist Gussie Larkin (Mermaidens, Earth Tongue) and noir folk sensation Jazmine Mary. They will be backed by an exceptional band featuring Ilayda Tunali (Ladyhawke) on keys, Mareea Paterson on bass, Karen Hu on drums, and Rebel Reid on lead guitar.

This night promises a powerful homage to the legendary female rock stars of the past and those who continue to redefine the genre today. As Debbie Harry famously declared, “the only place left for rock to go is toward more girl stars. There's nothing left for men to do.”

Don’t miss your chance to experience this extraordinary celebration of rock’s female pioneers and current trailblazers.
