Askapunk.nz is a community-run gig guide for Aotearoa New Zealand DIY punk, hardcore and adjacent shows.

All local Punk and Hardcore gigs in one place! No sign up necessary, no age restrictions - anyone can submit their gig. You can find a quick how-to guide here

Social media is controlled by a few shit corporations, and we wanted to make something that is owned by the community for the community, that isn’t reliant on social media and its stranglehold on gig promotions.

Garreth from NZHCPP saw the concept of the askapunk gig guide in Australia, and with the support of Robert from Life.Lair.Regret Records, reached out to the community here in Aotearoa. Load of folks have come together to make this happen. Special thanks to Garreth and Sara for coordinating this project, as well as Luke from askapunk.au for helping build the website.
