Rock Around The Weekend

Summer drags on, routines collapse, friends vanish on holiday, and the city feels empty. Cash is gone, bands are scarce, nights are dull. That’s when the noise rises. Two nights of pure rock to break monotony and remind you why live music matters.

More Details
Summer can be a pain. Your routine’s wrecked, half your friends are still away, everyone’s on holiday and suddenly no one wants to go out. Add to that the fact you blew your cash over Christmas and New Year, and the city feels dead..... fewer bands, fewer shows, not much to do.
That’s where Ding Dong Lounge comes in. Two nights of pure rock to break the monotony, shake off the holiday haze, and remind you why live music matters.
FRIDAY 16 JAN – The Heavy Chapter
Steel Tap, Sovereign and guest to bring the riffs and raw power.
SATURDAY 17 JAN – The Indie/Punk Chapter
Hazy Way, Missing HQ, and The Pillocks with melodic grit and summer‑night energy.
