Mild Orange

With support from: Heavy Chest

Since forming in Dunedin in 2017, New Zealand’s Mild Orange have become a band belonging to the world that has built an international following on the back of songs that have unfolded like secrets shared between friends and lovers. Or as Billboard put it, ‚Mild Orange have mastered making music for the nostalgic’.

The indie rockers exploded online in 2018 after their independently released debut album, Foreplay, reached every corner of the globe on YouTube, notably with the singles ‘Some Feeling’ and ‘Mysight’. The album was produced and mixed by frontman, Josh Mehrtens, who still sits at the helm of carefully producing and crafting the band’s records.

Mild Orange have since become known for their alternative blend of sun-drenched dream pop and psychedelic rock sounds which they bring to their powerful live shows. They are now becoming a mainstay in the indie world with their fierce ambition and drive, having performed in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa – all while remaining independent.

After releasing their third album Looking For Space – which Rolling Stone called ‘the band at their luscious best’ – and selling out headline concerts in renowned venues around the world from NYC, Paris, L.A, Warsaw and beyond, the band relocated to London where they would begin working on their fourth album THE//GLOW.

The//Glow, releasing on 08/08/2025, is split into two parts; one part heartland rock for the glow of the roads less known; and one part late night psych rock for the glow of the city lights.

In Mild Orange, you will find a band who truly live for the love of music.
