Duco Touring has today revealed the final additions to the Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival lineup, confirming SYNTHONY artists ahead of the festivals highly anticipated return to Auckland Domain on Saturday 21 March 2026.
The announcement comes off the back of an extraordinary 12 months for SYNTHONY globally, cementing the format as one of New Zealand’s most successful music exports. Across 2025 and early 2026, SYNTHONY completed a nine-city European tour (with all but two shows sold out), debuted in North America in Calgary, Canada, and made its U.S. debut in Orlando performing alongside the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The brand has also just wrapped its fifth Australian tour, culminating in a standout performance on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, welcomed in 2026 as the New Year’s Eve midnight act at Rhythm & Alps, and will make its Middle East debut in Dubai following their flagship event Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival.
Rising pop powerhouse Cassie Henderson, award-winning country-pop star Kaylee Bell, electrifying rock frontwoman Jennie Skulander, and legendary electronic and drum & bass vocalist P Digsss are newly confirmed as the latest vocalists set to take the stage as part of SYNTHONY No.7, delivering the next evolution of the genre-defying SYNTHONY experience. Fans can also expect the return of beloved SYNTHONY collaborators Sarah-Grace Williams and the Auckland Philharmonia.
Also joining the stacked lineup as SYNTHONY artists is Ilan Kidron, Emily Williams, Jujulipps, Lewis McCallum, Nate Dousand and Ventura Black.
These final announcements complete a lineup that spans electronic, live band, DJ, orchestral and vocal performance.
The 2026 festival will additionally see previously announced Faithless (Full Live Band), Peking Duk, Shapeshifter, Kaylee Bell, Nice ’n’ Urlich, Made You Look, Hot Dub Time Machine, The Black Seeds, The Exponents, and the powerful return of SYNTHONY No.7, alongside a full-scale Pepsi DJ Stage featuring Beccie B, Flamingo Pier (DJ Set), Pixie Lane x Kazi Flip, Scary B. Mean, Take Em To Church, and Tim Phin.
“After taking SYNTHONY to stages around the world over the past year, it’s always special to bring it home to Auckland Domain. Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival remains our biggest event globally, and SYNTHONY No.7 is shaping up to be one of our most ambitious and exciting editions yet,” says David Higgins, Founder of Duco Touring.
The 2025 edition of Mānuka Phuel SYNTHONY Festival saw a sold-out crowd of 40,000, a $1.8 million production, and a 2,000-strong crew, firmly cementing the festival as a cornerstone of the New Zealand summer events calendar.
