Midnight Metal Massacre: Forsworn's Return

Brace yourself for a night of unbridled chaos as Forsworn—Auckland’s indomitable thrash metal force—returns to Ding Dong Lounge for a midnight assault at Dead Witch (upstairs) on Saturday, 24 August. Originally slated to decimate the Semi-Finals of the Ding Dong Lounge Band Competition, Forsworn was forced to withdraw due to illness. But now, they’re back with a vengeance, ready to unleash an onslaught of pure thrash fury that will leave no survivors.

Before the mayhem begins, the Grand Final of the Ding Dong Lounge Band Competition will set the stage, with presales already SOLD OUT. Fear not, as a limited number of door sales will be available from 8:00 PM. If you’re hitting the Grand Final, stick around after the dust settles at 11:30 PM for Forsworn’s explosive set—free for Grand Final attendees. For those storming the gates exclusively for Forsworn, $10 presales are available, but with only 50 tickets on the line, they’re bound to vanish fast. Doors open for ticket holders at 11:59 PM, with the main bar primed and ready to fuel your night of thrash-infused carnage, from 6:00 PM.

Prepare to have your senses assaulted as Forsworn channels the raw power of Pantera, ACDC, Sepultura, and Metallica. Led by the blistering vocals and searing guitar work of Kaleb Strong, backed by Dylan Parker’s relentless drumming, Junior Grant’s crushing rhythm guitar and backing vocals, and Rowan Brownie’s earth-shaking bass, this is a band forged in the fires of metal. This is a night where thrash reigns supreme—don’t miss your chance to be part of the carnage. Secure your tickets now for a midnight thrash attack that will echo through the ages!

Don't forget, there's Happy Hour drink specials available from 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM. T & C apply...
