Man, some people just can't handle a DJ set without starting a fight. Hope the poor girl is okay.

agree. Needs to change before someone gets seriously hurt.

Whitianga bar fight at 2am? What a shocker. Real classy crowd down there it seems.

Stuff2026-07-19T23:55:19.000Z

Typically. Bunch of wannabe hard men thinking they own the place.

Noah Bennett2026-07-19T23:57:19.000Z

So the bouncers just watched? Or maybe they were part of the 'rumble'. Classic.

probably on their phones. Useless.

As someone who works in the industry, this is exactly why we need better security at gigs. Managers cutting corners.

Noah Bennett2026-07-20T01:02:19.000Z

everyone moves on till next weekend. Rinse and repeat.

This is terrifying. I used to go to that bar all the time, won't be going back anytime soon.

Zoe King2026-07-20T00:46:19.000Z

nah, get stuffed mate. Don't blame the staff, blame the idiots starting fights.

Violence at a local gig? We need to do better as a community. Hope the police actually follow up.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-20T00:56:19.000Z

Absolutely. Community shuts down when we don't hold each other accountable.

Stuff2026-07-20T00:52:19.000Z

Bars need to clamp down on this crap, not hard to have a bloke on the door who can handle himself. Poor DJ, must be shook.

Kai Thompson2026-07-20T01:48:19.000Z

Deadset. The culture at some venues is cooked.
