Time & Location

Ding Dong Lounge, 26 Wyndham Street, Auckland Central, Auckland 1010, New Zealand
More Details
The second the final chord fades at Spark Arena and the Auckland Town Hall, Ding Dong Lounge becomes your next stop.
Auckland’s unofficial afterparty fires up for everyone who’s been shouting every word of The Downfall of Us All, Degenerates, Last Resort, Scars, and Many of Horror — and still has enough voice left for round two. This is where the night refuses to end.
If you ever blasted Homesick in your bedroom, crowd‑surfed to All I Want, screamed Cut My Life Into Pieces at a house party, or got lost in Mountains and Ego Trip — this night’s built for you.
Our DJ is loading a high‑energy mix of pop‑punk, metalcore, alt‑rock, emo, and 2000s anthems. No filler. No slowdowns. Just wall‑to‑wall catharsis and the kind of tracks that drag you straight back onto the dancefloor.
Need fuel between breakdowns? We’ve got late‑night eats: honey soy or sweet & spicy Korean fried chicken, curly fries, mac & cheese bites, jalapeño poppers, vegan onion rings and more. Comforting.... and exactly what your body demands after yelling “DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!” with strangers.
It’s a late‑night ritual for the pop‑punk kids, the metalcore faithful, the scream‑therapy enthusiasts, and anyone who still believes in loud guitars and louder feelings.
