More Details

Ding Dong Lounge goes full throttle on Friday 12 September with a night built for rock and metal diehards. From the golden age to the pit, DJs r3y and TRASHKITTY spin anthem after anthem from the heavy hitters: Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Nirvana, Slipknot, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Tool, Black Sabbath, Queen, Slayer and plenty more. Expect relentless riffs, headbang-worthy hooks, and deep cuts that hit like a freight train.


Happy Hour hits twice — 7PM to 8PM and again from 12AM to 1AM.


Downstairs, it’s all about the decks. No cover bands, no filler—just curated chaos from Auckland’s loudest selectors, taking you on a nonstop journey through rock’s loudest eras. If you're into classic rock singalongs, thrash pit energy, or anything in between, this one's designed to take the roof off.
