The Tauranga Armageddon Expo will bring its signature brand of pop culture madness to the Bay region this weekend.

#BAYOFGEDDON 2021 will showcase the latest and greatest in pop culture, gaming and technology, cosplay, celebrity guests and more.

The line-up of celebrity guests doing virtual panels include stars from The Mandalorian, Supergirl, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Supernatural, Star Trek and other fandoms.

The event will also have animation stars Kari Wahlgren (Rick and Morty), Maile Flanagan (Naruto) and Stephanie Nadolny (Dragon Ball Z) doing virtual signings, where fans can have a one-on-one chat with their favourite celebrity and collect a pre-signed picture.

Attendees will also be able to enjoy a huge range of in-show events including the famous Armageddon Cosplay Contest, a chilli eating challenge (with a $1000 grand prize), a Just Dance disco dancefloor and more.

'We're beyond excited to kick off the Tauranga Armageddon Expo for 2021,” says Armageddon Expo founder and organiser William Geradts. 'It's going to be a great event that's not to be missed.”

The Tauranga Armageddon Expo will be held over the weekend of June 12-13 from 9am to 5pm on both days. For more information and to purchase tickets visit: www.armageddonexpo.com
