Before Eden Park erupts, Ding Dong Lounge is where the warm-up begins.
From 4PM, we’re firing up the sound system and pouring cold ones for Auckland’s metal faithful. DJ Drew Bang is on deck, spinning rock, metal, and thrash all afternoon — no filler, just fire.
No cover charge. No fluff. Just loud tunes, good food, and a crowd that knows what’s coming.
