A DJ set served by electronic duo Basement Jaxx and Finnish DJ Darude have been added to the bill for the 2025 Synthony in the Domain.

International acts Cyril and Example and Kiwi favourites Kora, Ladi6 and Th' Dudes had all been named for the Sunday 29 March event, along with local DJ Dick Johnson, who will join conductor Sarah-Grace Williams and the Auckland Philharmonia for Synthony No.6.

Basement Jaxx are the English duo behind dance hits like Where's Your Head At and Good Luck while Darude is the music producer most famous for the hit techno song Sandstorm.

After a sold-out show of over 35,000 attendees in 2024, Pukekawa, Auckland Domain will host the massive music festival Mānuka Pharm Synthony in the Domain.

Across two stages, the festival promises world-class immersive visuals, and the global premiere of Synthony No. 6 where the biggest dance tracks of all time are reimagined with a full live orchestra.

Limited first and second release tickets are available from [www.synthony.com synthony.com].
