More Details
Before Spark Arena fills with distortion, dread, and transcendence, Ding Dong Lounge is where the warm-up begins.
From 4PM, we’re pouring cold ones and spinning tracks that echo Tool’s shadow — heavy, deliberate, and built for those who know the difference between “The Pot” and “Prison Sex.” DJ Drew Bang will be on deck with alt-metal, progressive rock, and deep cuts that set the tone. No fluff. No filler. Just tension and anticipation.
No cover charge. No distractions. Just loud music, good food, and a crowd that gets it.
Want a guaranteed booth for your crew?
Book a $40 booth and get 4 food items of your choice for the table. That’s over $60 of value, and it guarantees you a seat in the booth before the arena gates open. Booths must be occupied before 6PM or your reservation may be released.
