The Bowl of Brooklands is set to bounce when Synthony brings its classic dance party back to Taranaki on 5 February
2022.
Over 7,000 people packed into the Bowl earlier this year as Synthony’s first outdoor show brought in their largest ever
crowd, and the beats will again take over the iconic venue for the grand finale of the Synthony NZ tour.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing Synthony back for another night of epic doof doof at Pukekura Park’s Bowl of Brooklands in New Plymouth, one of the world’s best outdoor venues. The energy Synthony
brought to the Bowl last year was electric and we’re set for another summer of sizzle in Taranaki with the Festival of
Lights, L.A.B and global icon Lorde,” says New Plymouth District Mayor Neil Holdom.
A limited number of exclusive presale tickets will be available online only on Tuesday 12 October from 10am until

About Synthony:
In January 2021, SYNTHONY hosted its largest ever crowd at the Bowl of Brooklands, a milestone for the company as they
expanded to a much bigger and more exciting show than ever before. With a reception beyond comprehensible, it left no
doubt in the minds of SYNTHONY that the show would return in 2022. Fans of the show have been making enormous noise for
the anticipated return of SYNTHONY at the Bowl of Brooklands.
A breath-taking fusion of electronic dance anthems, live orchestra, DJs, vocalists, and immersive visuals. Imagine, the
biggest global dance tracks performed by a Symphony Orchestra, DJs and vocalists, complete with a mesmerising laser
light show and full LED visuals, transporting you back to the dance floor.
In 2017, Synthony made its stunning debut at the Auckland Town Hall with a sell-out audience. A truly unique and
immersive experience, Synthony leverages the popularity of electronic dance music, but highly integrates a heroic
orchestral element, all the while maintaining the integrity of the euphoric experience of a dance party.
Synthony is a unique hybrid where a theatre show feels like a nightclub! The star of the show is not just any single
“trophy” talent, but the unique fusion of a sophisticated orchestra, directed by the precision of the conductor, spine
tingling vocalists and world class DJs, accompanied by dynamic visuals – all work in perfect harmony. There is nothing
else like it. This celebration of dance music is more than just a show... It takes the audience on a journey. A journey
back through their most memorable electronic experiences, track after track, fans are taken down memory lane and
celebrate dance music that is embedded into their subconscious. The value of nostalgia is underrated, and Synthony
delivers nostalgia in spades.
After a sell-out tour of 5 New Zealand cities and 4 Australian cities in the 2020/21 tour, performing to over 20,000
fans combined, a milestone SYNTHONY had always dreamed of achieving, SYNTHONY is returning with a brand new show
supporting the live music industry’s recovery post COVID19. Synthony will return to both New Zealand and Australia in
2021, followed by other international markets.
