YOU MISSED THE RIOTS. YOU CAUGHT THE PLAYLISTS. NOW FEEL IT LIVE.
The cost of living keeps climbing. But so does the volume.
Friday 22 August, Auckland’s inner city shakes with three bands upstairs and four decades of punk spun through the main bar.
It’s not a team-up. It’s a shared refusal to shut up.
Upstairs at Dead Witch, punk hits fast and raw:
- The Bright Ideas throw post-punk tension through flanged guitars and rhythm that grins as it punches.
- Dead Contract bring classic grit and old-school stomp.
- The Bridesmaids deliver sneering riffs, scrappy heart, and sweat-soaked honesty.
Downstairs at Ding Dong, Drew Bang + guests spin chaos from every filthy chapter:
‘70s grit, ‘80s speed, ‘90s skate, 2000s melody.
The Clash. The Bronx. The tunes you yell in the car when no one’s watching.
Brought to you by ACT UP Entertainment and the crew behind Ding Dong Lounge—no gatekeeping, no fluff, just punk done right.
Doors open 7PM. Happy Hour from 7–8PM and again at midnight.
Tickets now available:
- $10 Early Bird (extended until Fri 8 Aug, 9PM!)
- $15 General Admission
- $20 on the door
Cards accepted. Noise expected.
Upstairs: sweat. Downstairs: scream. Find your crew. Lose your voice. Leave messy.
IT’S NOT A TRIBUTE. IT’S NOT A SHOWCASE.
IT'S A PUNK NIGHT.
NO GODS. JUST GUITARS.
