The biggest pop culture and gaming event in New Zealand is back. Armageddon Expo has officially opened ticket sales for its first three massive shows of 2026. Fans can now secure their spots for the Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland Autumn events.

2026 Event Dates and Locations

Armageddon is hitting three major cities in the first half of the year. Mark your calendars for these dates:

• Christchurch: March 21–22 at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.
• Wellington: April 3–5 (Easter Weekend) at Sky Stadium.
• Auckland Autumn: April 25–27 (ANZAC Weekend) at Auckland Showgrounds.

Each venue will host a variety of attractions. You can expect massive artist alleys, international celebrity panels, and extensive gaming areas.

Special Guest: Jamie Campbell Bower

The excitement doesn’t stop at gaming. Autograph and Photo tokens for Jamie Campbell Bower are also on sale NOW. Known for his chilling performance as Vecna in Stranger Things, Bower is a huge draw for fans of the supernatural and horror genres.
