Young Moon || Orbiting Islands Tour || Nelson

Young Moon returns with a tour that celebrates the irreplaceable beauty of human connection.

Following the release of their double E.P Paraverbal Orchids / Young Moon Is a Broken Bone, Young Moon are set to embark on a seven-date “Orbiting Islands” tour across the South Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand this August and September.

Young Moon head to Nelson's newest dive bar The Dog's Bone with support from the Music Sucks.

In a world increasingly saturated with digital noise and the encroachment of AI into creative spaces, the line between the contrived and the authentic grows ever more blurred. With projects like the AI-generated band Velvet Sundown raising questions about the future of artistry and emotional truth in music, Young Moon’s “Orbiting Islands” Tour stands as a heartfelt antidote. Young Moon is excited to bring real, human connection back to the forefront—sharing the raw, unfiltered emotions that only live music can evoke. These performances are a celebration of presence, vulnerability, and the irreplaceable magic of being together in a room, under the same sky, with sound that’s born from lived experience—not algorithms.
