Atomic!

Sing, dance, and lose yourself in a monster setlist of era-defining songs. Led by powerhouse vocalist and Musical Director Julia Deans, Atomic! brings together a who’s-who of Aotearoa’s most celebrated musicians. Together, they take on songs from the iconic catalogues of Blondie, Eurythmics, Pretenders, Kate Bush, Florence + The Machine, Madonna, and more. The set list spans generations and is reimagined with the kind of energy only New Zealand wahine musicians can deliver. Julia is joined by Boh Runga, Dianne Swann, Vera Ellen, and Jazmine Mary. They are backed up by an all-femme band including Karen Hu (drums), Rebel Reid (guitar), Louisa Nicklin (bass), and Ilayda Tunali (keys). 

Now in its 3^rd year, Atomic continues to bring high-energy rock in a distinctly Kiwi way. As Julia Deans says, “It’s 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.” Bring your dancing shoes and be ready to blow the roof off The Opera House.
