Jam Night

Thu 24 Sep 8pm

Ding Dong Lounge, Auckland

Never played live before? Played hundreds of shows? Just want to watch and soak it all in? Jam Night at Dead Witch is for you.

Every Thursday upstairs at Ding Dong Lounge, we open the stage to anyone keen to play, listen, or just be part of the moment. It’s free to enter, free to watch, and free to jump on stage. Whether you’re solo, in a band, or just feeling inspired on the night, you’re welcome.

We provide a full backline—amps for two guitars, one bass, vocal mics, and a full drumkit. You’re welcome to bring your own instrument, but if you didn’t plan ahead and the urge hits, there’s often someone willing to lend you theirs. It’s that kind of night—collaborative, spontaneous, and always welcoming.

All music styles are welcome. We’re a rock bar at heart, so you’ll hear everything from punk and metal to classic rock, indie, and off-the-cuff covers. Sometimes it’s a full originals band trying out new songs. Sometimes it’s strangers jamming whatever comes to mind. It’s casual, creative, and always unpredictable.

Ask at the bar or sound desk for our host. They're here to help guide the flow, answer questions, and make sure everyone gets a fair shot. If you’re new or unsure how it works, just have a chat with them. They're there to help.

Jam Night kicks off at 8pm, with Happy Hour drink specials from 7–8pm and again from 12–1am. The kitchen’s open all night with crowd favourites like Korean Fried Chicken, Mac & Cheese Bites, Curly Fries, and more.
