TEIWA — Rob Ruha with the NZSO
7 March 2026Michael Fowler Centre
A fresh and influential sound dominated the charts in the 1980s — synth-pop. The Human League were one of the first bands to find success with this new sound. Now they are bringing decades of catchy hits to Wellington fans. Expect an unforgettable night with timeless classics like Don’t You Want Me, Human, Love Action (I Believe in Love), The Lebanon, Mirror Man, Being Boiled, and more.
Long before electronic music became mainstream, the band was successfully using computers and sequencers to create rhythm and melody. In the process, they redefined modern pop. Their stylish, forward-thinking sound remains relevant today as ever. In 1982, The Sydney Morning Herald described them as “one of the first futurist bands.” Join founding members Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, and Susan Ann Sulley on an electrifying journey through four decades of stylish synth-pop brilliance.
