More Details

On Saturday 22 November, Ding Dong Lounge hosts Auckland’s unofficial Tool after party. A two-floor experience for those who aren’t ready to step back into the light. When Spark Arena empties and the final frequencies fade, the city’s alternative metal faithful will gather at the venue that’s long been home to late-night ritual and release. This isn’t for the casuals. It’s for those who stayed present, leaned in, and need somewhere to recalibrate after the sonic architecture Tool just constructed.

DOWNSTAIRS – METAL DJ SETS

Heavy. Intentional. Curated for those who know.

DJ Drew Bang and Trix—this night leans darker, heavier, and more immersive.

UPSTAIRS – MIDNIGHT LIVE SET AT DEAD WITCH

GIDEON VOON & COREY FRIEDLANDER
