2022 Dates and Updates

Hey HeyHoping everyone is safe and well out there as we head into 2022 and the new Covid experience that is Omicron in NZ.
Here at Armageddon HQ we have been working hard on this year’s events and have been looking forward to finally getting back out there, however it is apparent that in the current Covid situation and the red settings, that while it may be possible to hold the Christchurch and Wellington events in March/April, it is looking unlikely and even if we can make it happen, holdi…

TAURANGA ARMAGEDDON POSTPONEMENT

So, while we are all set to rock and roll, Covid has reared its ugly head again (hopefully for the final time, fingers crossed) and we are unable to host the event in February as hoped.
Instead, we will be moving the Tauranga event to our new dates (same venue) ofJULY 23/24TH 2022.
We know that this will be disappointing to many, but the loss of mass events while at red is a small price to pay for you and your families health and safety.
We look forward to bringing the event to the Bay of Ple…

Exclusive Outlander Private Autograph Signing

If you are a fan of OUTLANDER (currently streaming on event sponsor NEON with the new season due in March 2022) then we have something brilliant to bring in the new year with.
With the exciting announcemen that Men In Kilts season 2 is starting filming in Aotearoa, we have managed to arrange an exclusive autograph signing with Outlander stars SAM HEUGHAN and GRAHAM McTAVISH. Unfortunately due to the tight filming schedule, we were unable to organise an in-person event with Sam and Graham, but…

2022 is here!

Just a small update as we start the wheels turning behind the scenes for the year.On Monday Jan 17th at 9am tickets will go on sale for the Tauranga Feb 26/27th event through www.iticket.co.nz. There will be door sales, but with demand high, it’s always safer to get your tickets early if you can.
Virtual media guests will be announced next week (ideally Monday am as well) and the event promotion really begins.
We are working on several new activities for the event, including a Red Light, Gr…

Winter Is Coming...

So, straight to it then, due to several reasons (see below) we have made the difficultdecision to cancel this year’s Auckland Armageddon event.
We will be holding a live stream on Facebook at Noon today to go through this in detail.With the uncertainty of the shift to orange or staying in red, talking with exhibitors whowere very uncertain and had considerable costs that are unavoidable the week of the show,caution on Auckland Covid response and willingness to attend a mass gathering (and t…

IT’S A CHRISTMAS ARMAGEDDON CHARLIE BROWN…

Hey All
Things are moving along slowly as we wait for the changes in the alert levels in Auckland, however we are feeling more confident that we will be good to rock and roll for December 17-19th at the Auckland showgrounds and provide the first Armageddon Christmas event.
Currently the event is bulging with exhibitors, events, activities, gaming, cosplay, K-pop and virtual celebrities, and we are looking forward to finally bringing this to you all.
However, as we wait for final clarification…

Auckland Date Change - December 17-19th 2021

So, here’s the update after the current Covid regulation changes announced today and the shift to the traffic light system.
Under the Orange light restrictions, the planned Auckland event will be able to fully proceed, however this will not happen at its earliest until November 29th (probably early Dec) which makes it impossible to hold the event on the planned November dates
HOWEVER, now that we have a solid footing for events under this new system, we are going to give this one more try a…

AUCKGEDDON: THE PREQUEL!

In the spirit of the truly great prequels like Star Wars Episode One, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we are excited to bring you AUCKGEDDON: THE PREQUEL!
We were hoping to host our 100th event this October, but we’ve had to delay to November 26-28th. We know some of you will be wondering what to do over Labour Weekend, and it doesn't feel right to have a Labour Weekend without Armageddon, so we have decided to gi…
