More Details

Free entry with your Goodnight Nurse concert ticket


Remember spending your weekends at Papa Jack's and the Kings Arms? Catching bands at Big Day Out, discovering your next favourite local act, or heading along to see international bands like Fall Out Boy, Story Of The Year and The Living End?


If you were part of Auckland's pop punk and alternative music scene in the early to mid-2000s, chances are Goodnight Nurse were a pretty big part of it.


With Goodnight Nurse playing The Powerstation this Thursday and Friday, Ding Dong Lounge is giving everyone a reason to keep the night going after the shows.


Rather than heading straight home, come into the city, catch up with old gig buddies, reconnect with people you haven't seen in years and share a few stories from those days.


Because there's a good chance the people you used to spend your weekends at gigs…
