About Atomic!

Atomic! takes 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.


Led by powerhouse vocalist and Musical Director Julia Deans, Atomic! brings together a who’s-who of Aotearoa’s most celebrated musicians.


Now in its 3rd year (Atomic 3.0!), this all-star lineup features Boh Runga, Dianne Swann, Vera Ellen, and Jazmine Mary, backed by an all-femme band: Karen Hu (drums), Rebel Reid (guitar), Louisa Nicklin (bass), and Ilayda Tunali (keys).

  • Thank you for such an amazing night all you amazing powerful ladies & musicians, was such an epic night.

    What an AWESOME mix of individual talent. Loved the show.. thank you. See you all again next year!

    Freaking awesome night!

    ATOMIC! 2.0 rocked Auckland Town Hall last night, following on from triumphant gigs in Christchurch and Wellington. Keep ‘em coming, girls…we’re all looking forward to the next instalment!

    Carin Newbould, The 13th Floor

    I want whoever is in charge of these things to send me back as any one of the women in Atomic.


    I haven’t seen anything so cool in ages and don’t expect to top Julia Deans and Vera Ellen guitar battling in this lifetime. Or Boh Runga’s black leather pants, or Dianne Swann’s VOICE.


    My god! What a revelation.


    I am ashamed I didn’t know more about Swann before this night of rock goddessing.

    Claire Mabey, The Spinoff
