Mild Orange Returning to Aotearoa New Zealand in March

Enchanting fans around the globe with the moonlit melodies and soaring strum of their new album The//Glow, Mild Orange have determined a return trip to their homeland is in order. These days based half a world away in London, England, the hugely popular Aotearoa dream-rockers are headlining Auckland's Tuning Fork and Wellington's San Fran in March 2026, joined for both dates by fellow London-based kiwi Heavy Chest, aka songwriter Andre Smith — whose new album Ascend emerged in late October. Mild Orange will then jump the ditch for an early autumn run of shows in Australia and beyond. Grab tickets before they inevitably run out and give Mehrt, Jah, Barry and Jack a warm welcome back (to The//Glow)...

Press release:

Mild Orange are finally returning to New Zealand in March 2026, supported by fellow Kiwi artist and indie-slacker legend, Heavy Chest.

Mild Orange, most well-known globally for their viral singles ‘Some Feeling’, ‘Mysight’ and ‘Freak In Me’, are hitting the road again revitalised after an impressive UK & Europe run that saw the band sell out shows from Paris to Bucharest, whilst touring their latest album The//Glow.

Few southern hemisphere artists possess the global reach, devoted fanbase, and sheer tenacity of Mild Orange – an independent band capable of selling 1100 tickets on a Monday/Tuesday night in Croatia and Serbia, while within the same year drawing thousands to a festival stage in South Korea, and co-hosting their own annual beachside concert in Morocco.

Despite their global orbit, New Zealand remains at the heart of the story for the London based Kiwis. Expect radiant, powerful, sun-drenched dream rock as Mild Orange makes its return to Aotearoa with Heavy Chest. Come be a part of their next chapter.
