Mild Orange is coming to BIRD Friday 24 October, and if you’re into warm tones, dreamy guitar layers, and music that feels like it breathes, you’ll want to be there.

This four-piece from New Zealand has a way of crafting songs that hit you in a low-key kind of way. It's not loud or flashy, but it sticks. Their songs feel personal without oversharing, atmospheric without drifting too far off. It’s music that makes space: for feeling things, for zoning out, or just for being in the moment. It’s music for long nights, slow mornings, and everything in between.

There’s a kind of honesty in what they do. It’s in the lyrics, the space they leave in the songs, and the way they play live. No big tricks, just good songs, tight chemistry, and a sound that knows exactly where it wants to take you. 

Already a fan or just curious what the buzz is about, come find out why this band keeps resonating with more and more people around the world.

Support act for Mild Orange: Heavy Chest

Before Mild Orange takes the stage on Friday 24 October, we’ve got a perfect match to set the tone: Heavy Chest.

Also coming from New Zealand, Heavy Chest brings that same kind of emotional depth but with a twist that’s all their own. Their sound blends lo-fi indie, gentle grooves and subtle electronics into something that feels intimate and honest. It’s bedroom pop grown up, without losing the heart.

There’s a quiet confidence in the music. Warm vocals, soft beats, and melodies that feel like they’ve been soundtracking your thoughts without you realizing it. If you’re into artists who know how to say a lot with very little, Heavy Chest will be your thing.

We’re excited to have them open the night at BIRD. It’s their first time playing here, and it’s one of those sets you’ll want to arrive early for.
