Summer Of Hardcore 2025 - Auckland & Wellington Shows ft. Bleeders, Saving Grace, Brainwave + More

Deadboy Records are bringing together a smashing lineup of NZHC greats for Summer Of Hardcore 2025, two massive hardcore punk / metal spectaculars taking over Tāmaki Makaurau's Double Whammy and Pōneke's Valhalla in February 2025. Co-headliners for both events are West Auckland's legendary Bleeders with fellow veteran powerhouses Saving Grace and windy city hardcore thrashers Brainwave, who dropped their pummelling new anthem 'The Truth' late last month.

They'll be joined in the capital by Utterance, Stress Ghetto, Dredge and Shuv-It, while Auckland gig-goers will be treated to the ear-blasting sounds of Standover, Brawler, Drop Off Point, Amanaki, and Martial Law. Summer Of Hardcore 2025 sprawls across two weekends, so well-organised NZHC fanatics can make their pilgrimage to both Te Ika-a-Māui venues to experience these all-killer lineups — details below...
