Atomic: The Songs of Blondie

Atomic: The Songs of Blondie offers a matinee performance that channels Blondie’s journey from the raw energy of the New York punk scene to their rise as music icons. This isn’t a typical tribute show—it’s a full-spectrum dive into the music that made Blondie a household name, brought to life by some of Melbourne’s most formidable rock 'n' roll talents. On Sunday, 3 November, as the doors open at 4 pm, audiences are invited to be part of something truly special.

Blondie started in the underground clubs of New York, capturing the rebellious spirit of the era with their unique blend of punk, pop, and new wave. This show brings that energy to the stage, celebrating both their gritty beginnings and the iconic hits that followed. From their high-octane incarnation that rocked CBGB to the polished anthems that defined a generation, this performance delivers the full Blondie experience.

The setlist goes beyond just the well-known anthems (though those will be there too). It digs deeper into their catalogue, uncovering tracks that deserve their moment in the spotlight, making this a truly comprehensive tribute to Blondie’s musical legacy.

Before the main event, special guest Victor Stranges will perform a solo set, showcasing his own music and setting the tone for the evening. Later, he’ll join the band as part of Atomic alongside Anthea Palmer, Stu Thomas (The Stu Thomas Paradox, Dave Graney & The MistLY, Kim Salmon & The Surrealists), Mike Dupp (The Methinks, The Futurists), and Garry Allen (Crossbones Boogie) to bring Blondie’s music to life with all the raw energy and attitude it demands.

This isn’t a nostalgia act—it’s a celebration of the relentless, rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll that transcends generations. Don’t miss out on a night that captures the essence of what makes Blondie legendary. Join this event for a rock 'n' roll experience that’s as authentic as it gets!
