More Details

Auckland gets a full‑force metal barrage as Soulstroke, Valenfall, Bottom of the Barrel, and Charlie’s Vendetta take the stage for one relentless night. Four bands, back‑to‑back, each bringing their own brand of heaviness—from groove‑driven riffs to melodic brutality to pure, unfiltered chaos.

Doors open 8PM, with the first set hitting soon after. If you want every breakdown, every scream, every wall‑of‑sound moment, roll in early and claim your spot.

Happy Hour & Food

Happy Hour runs 7PM–8PM, with drink specials to get the night moving.
The full food menu is available all night, perfect for keeping your energy up between sets or after the final encore.
