ATOMIC! 2.0 – Hailing the Pioneering Women of Rock
IT’S BACK! After the incredible success of last year’s concerts, Atomic’s all femme line-up returns for Atomic! 2.0. Get ready for a night of Blondie, Eurythmics, Pretenders, Patti Smith, Garbage, Alanis Morissette, Hole, Joan Jett & a whole lot more!
In the hands of musical director, Julia Deans (Fur Patrol), Atomic! celebrates the heroes who pioneered the revolution and those that continue to push the boundaries.
The super lineup also features Aotearoa power players Boh Runga (stellar*), Dianne Swann (When the Cats Away), Gussie Larkin (Mermaidens, Earth Tongue) and Jazmine Mary, supported by a killer band, Karen Hu on drums, Rebel Reid on guitar, Mareea Paterson on bass and Ladyhawke’s Ilayda Tunali on keys.
Don’t miss these incredible artists paying it back to some of the greatest performers of our times: a hitlist rooted in the glories of the past moving to the innovators of today. 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.” And don’t we have a few?
