The competition reaches its next stage as four standout acts battle for a spot in the grand final. Semi-Final One promises tension, sharpened performances, and the first glimpses of who could become legends of the Ding Dong Lounge stage.
The first semi-final of the Ding Dong Lounge Band Competition 2025 brings four distinct acts to the stage, each fighting for a coveted spot in the final. The stakes are higher than ever—these bands have been through heats, sharpened their sets, and now face the crowd with confidence and fire. Expect bold performances and genre-spanning soundscapes—from heartfelt indie grooves to crushing metal riffs and grunge-infused pop punk energy.
Living State (Rock)
Living State return with their signature bold sound and commanding stage presence. Fronted by Lisa Murphy, the four-piece continue to fuse Euro-inspired rock with raw emotion, dynamic riffs, and thunderous grooves. Semi-final audiences should brace for a performance that never lets up.
Noah Nite (Indie Rock)
Noah Nite bring melodic charm and indie rock sensibilities to the stage. With catchy hooks, thoughtful lyrics, and an infectious energy, they have a way of drawing the crowd in while keeping the intensity high. Their semi-final set promises both intimacy and impact.
Steel Tap (Metal)
Steel Tap unleash a powerful metal assault that blends precision, aggression, and heavy-hitting riffs. With an eye on both technical skill and raw stage energy, they command attention and deliver moments designed to leave the crowd on edge. Fans of heavier sounds won’t want to blink.
Blossom (Grunge / Pop Punk)
Blossom channel gritty grunge textures and high-energy pop punk spirit into every performance. With infectious choruses, driving rhythms, and a stage presence that’s both raw and captivating, they’re a band that thrives on connecting with the audience and leaving a lasting impression.
Doors open at 8PM, first band hits at 8:30PM.
Early bird presales are $10, general admission presales are $20, and door sales are $25 if presales don’t sell out.
R18.
Whether you’re a devoted fan or just scene-curious, Semi-Final One is the night to witness the next breakout acts before they blow up.
