After Dark – Alter Egos

Unleash your alter ego and take the spotlight—whether you're channelling a celebrity, experimenting with a gender swap, or embracing a totally new persona!

This After Dark is packed with unforgettable experiences: drag and burlesque performances, a live DJ set, and the chance to show off your skills with our partners on the Ahi Aerial Arts pole. Want to steal the show? Head to our planetarium for all-night karaoke and sing your heart out under the stars—we'll have two mics available so you can duet or have a lip-sync battle!

Our friends at Alchemist Mixology will be serving up delicious cocktails, while Dunedin’s best food trucks will be ready to satisfy your cravings in the reserve.

Don’t forget to enter our costume and character competitions for a chance to win amazing prizes! You could also try your luck at Drag Bingo, meet someone new at speed dating, or get a fun caricature of your night at the on-site artist booth. If you're feeling creative, try your hand at painting a friend in our art space, or bond over making friendship bracelets.

Tickets sell out fast, so don’t wait—book early to avoid missing out on this unforgettable night!

There will be a cash bar and food available for purchase, and remember, this is an R18 event, so don’t forget your ID.
