Blindspott to Perform Iconic Self-Titled Album in Full with a 30-Piece Orchestra at Spark Arena
New Zealand’s most legendary rock event just got even bigger. On September 26, 2025, Blindspott will headline The Rock 2000 at Spark Arena in a one-of-a-kind performance. The band will perform their iconic 2002 self-titled debut album in its entirety, accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra—Blindspott & The Philharmonic Orchestra—transforming their iconic sound into an unforgettable symphonic experience.
A treasured masterpiece in New Zealand’s rock history, Blindspott’s debut album debuted at #1, achieved Triple platinum status, and cemented its place as one of New Zealand’s greatest rock albums of all time. Spawning monster hit singles like “Nil By Mouth” (platinum), “Room to Breathe,” “S.U.I.T,” “Lit Up,” and “Phlex” (2x platinum), these tracks defined a generation. This time, however, these anthems will explode to life in a way never heard before—massive, cinematic, and utterly immersive.
The orchestra will add a dramatic new layer to Blindspott’s music, from the rich string arrangements of Mind Dependency to the sweeping instrumental sections of Ilah. Each track will be expanded and elevated, blending the raw energy of rock with the cinematic scope of orchestral music.
This is a monumental moment for New Zealand music—a unique, larger-than-life performance that brings Blindspott’s legacy into an entirely new realm.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience at The Rock 2000.
