After sold-out shows across the country, Atomic is back for 2026 - louder, bolder and ready to light up stages across Aotearoa this August.
Led by powerhouse vocalist and Musical Director Julia Deans, Atomic brings together a who’s-who of Aotearoa’s most celebrated musicians for a high-voltage celebration of women in pop and rock.
This all-star lineup features:
- Boh Runga
- Dianne Swann
- Vera Ellen
- Jazmine Mary.
Backed by an all-femme band:
- Karen Hu (drums)
- Rebel Reid (guitar)
- Louisa Nicklin (bass)
- Ilayda Tunali (keys).
Together, they take on an iconic catalogue spanning generations - from Blondie, Eurythmics and Pretenders to Kate Bush, Florence + The Machine, Madonna and more - reimagined with the kind of energy only this lineup can deliver.
“Atomic is about celebrating the artists who shaped us - and doing it together, on our own terms. It’s powerful, it’s joyful and it’s loud.” - Julia Deans.
“There’s something magic about this group of wāhine on stage - the connection, the musicianship, the sheer fun of it.” - Boh Runga.
More than a concert, Atomic is a full-throttle tribute to the past, present and future of women in music - a show that invites audiences to sing, dance and lose themselves in a monster setlist of era-defining songs.
Bring your dancing shoes. Atomic is ready to blow the roof off!
