Exploding Rainbow Orchestra - Songbook Volume Three


Tour Information
Last year was a special year for the Exploding Rainbow Orchestra, with two triumphant star-studded performances of the Exploding Rainbow Orchestra's Songbook Volume Two, and a breathtaking, goosebump-inducing (YouTube comment) version of The Front Lawn’s Andy with Vera Ellen at the 2023 APRA Silver Scroll Awards | Kaitito Kaiaka.

Now, as winter’s rain begins to subside and make way for the hope of a glorious Tāmaki Makaurau spring, bandleader and conductor Joshua Worthington-Church has unveiled the details of the eagerly awaited Exploding Rainbow Orchestra Songbook Volume Three shows.

This year’s roster promises to be the most expansive yet. Fourteen songwriters and artists from across the motu invited to each write and perform a brand new song. Each new work will be specially arranged with backing from this maximalist extravagant orchestral and psychedelic polyphonic ensemble.

Happening at the majestic Hopetoun Alpha on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th October, the Exploding Rainbow Orchestra Songbook Volume Three will include the phenomenal talents of DBLDBL, Diggy Dupé, Erny Belle, Finn Johansson, Grecco Romank, Hales, Jazmine Mary, Julia Deans, Keira Wallace, Lucy Suttor (Dick Move), Mousey, Oliver Devlin (Hans Pucket), RNZŌ., and WAIWHAI.

Already a musical extravaganza of epic proportions, The Exploding Rainbow Orchestra Songbook Volume Three is set to raise the bar on previous years in every way, from the beautiful new venue to the wild array of musically variegated talent. With powerful punks to righteous rappers, rock stars to folk heroes, and everything in between, expect to see familiar faces and discover new favourites.

We don't want anyone to miss out on this joy and madness; both shows will have a healthy allocation of concession priced tickets to make the music accessible to all.

Tickets to both shows go on sale 8am this Friday 23 August from
