Whammy Fest

Overview

Subterranean music venue and dive bar Whammy has been around for ten years now, in its existence championing good music, good liquor and good company. To mark the decade-long run, on the last weekend of October the venue will kick things up a notch with a four-day party.

A huge bill of local acts will play across three stages over the weekend. Between Whammy, Backroom and Wine Cellar you'll find electro-indie act A.C. Freazy, pizza-loving rock duo Dad Jokes, Wellington computer musician Disasteradio, local beatmaker/rapper Randa, Kody Nielson's future-disco dance act Silicon, among plenty of others.

Thursday will see a quiz night kickoff downstairs with a gold coin entry, while Saturday will welcome the Whammy Markets, a vegan pie eating contest, a special beer launch and more.
