Okay… first things first. We are truly, deeply sorry to say that there won’t be a Wonderland at Arkadien this Easter. We know. We feel it too. But rather than letting Easter drift quietly past, we are turning that longing into something special, connective, and very Arkadien.
This Easter Saturday we are hosting an Arkraiser!
A one-night gathering filled with music, magic, and mischief at one of our most treasured local venues, Paisley Stage. A venue that has held Arkadien with care, generosity, and belief. They have recently moved into a new home, and now it's our turn to show up. Let’s fill the space, bring warmth to the room, and show everyone what being a part of the Arkadien community feels like.
Everything raised on the night goes straight back into Arkadien - new gear, improvements to the site, and the many small details that help the next Arkadien weekend become the best one yet. Somehow, they always get better… and we want to make sure that continues.
We are beyond excited to announce an epic main act, COMMUNICATE, travelling down from Auckland and honestly, everyone is in for a treat. More artists will be announced soon.
There will be a raffle, there will be a wondrous dance floor, and yes, dress-ups are enthusiastically encouraged. Expression is part of what makes Arkadien feel like home.
The Postie will be weaving through the night, delivering messages, notes, and quiet moments of connection.
If you’ve ever wondered what Arkadien is all about, this is the perfect way to step inside. Just one night, no camping required. Come feel the music, meet the people behind it all and dance until your body tells you otherwise.
Arkraiser operates on a tiered, pay-what-you-can ticket system, with every ticket directly supporting the creation and care of Arkadien. Pay what feels right for you, and be part of sustaining Arkadien.
We can’t wait to see you there. ✨
