architecture, fire, music and lighting to build a multi sensory experience.

that fires 30 foot flames into the air, flaming tree sculptures, and a barrage of light and visuals that shoot out
across the crowd in synchronization. Surrounded by a heavyweight sound system, the spiraling arms of the Afterburner
reach into the crowd creating multi level dance platforms along them.
This is the first time the Arcadia Afterburner has been to these shores and it is like no other DJ stage seen in New
Zealand before.
