More Details

Get ready to break stuff—again. My Generation returns to Ding Dong Lounge on Saturday 22 November with Drew Bang spinning the loud, sweaty chaos of early 2000s rock. From 8 to 11pm, it’s pure nu-metal, punk, grunge, and alt-rock carnage. Think basement show energy, mall goth nostalgia, and wall-shaking anthems from Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Korn, Papa Roach, Disturbed, Coal Chamber, Crazy Town, Chimaira, and American Head Charge.


Pop-punk punch? You’ll get Blink-182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and The Offspring. Grunge and alt-rock more your style? Expect Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Incubus, Evanescence, System of a Down, Staind, and P.O.D.


Important Note:

At 11pm, the vibe shifts. The Tool Unofficial After Party kicks off, and the music moves toward progressive metal, alt-metal, and deeper sonic territory. So if you want your nu-metal anthems, come early and scream with us before the mood gets more cerebral.
