From 6 - 10 PM on Saturday, June 29th, we're opening the Jubilee Pavilion at Adelaide Showground, and the kid gloves will be off! At AVCon After Dark, ratings will be unrestricted, so we're doing everything we can’t do during AVCon’s family-friendly daytime events.

Enjoy the After Dark festivities with a selection of alcoholic beverages, including delicious anime and gaming-themed cocktails.

All the violent gaming, all the saucy anime and all the naughty language will be here and uncensored! Get to the mature gaming section to play some Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball or DOOM. Will you be the best at tearing people apart limb from limb in our Mortal Kombat 1 tournament? Or will you be the best shooter in our Halo MCC and CoD MW3 tournaments?

Come laugh your ass off with a humorous stage play through of dating sim ‘I Love You, Colonel Sanders!. We'll also be screening cultured and sophisticated anime like the amazing ‘Bikini Warriors’ in our screening room.

Artist Alley will be turned into ‘Midnight Lane’, where our fabulous artists will have a variety of artworks available for only refined adult pallets. Check out the Exhibitor areas where you might find some deals on some 18+ goods.

The CDW/Flinders Art Zone will feature a Hentai Drawing Workshop as well as Cosplay Model Life Drawing all night. You can also enter our Adults Only quick draw competition to let your wild side out while winning great prizes!

The amazing Melbourne D&D troupe, Let's Roll for Dragons will be having a drink or two and taking us through a special Dungeons and Dragons campaign called 'Dungeons and Dragons and Dating'. The ultimate mash-up of reality TV and fantasy! Embark on romantic quests with iconic characters from pop culture. The audience will hold the fate of the players in their hands through drinking games, voting, dice rolling, and more.

Our friend Captain Patch-It is taking over a panel room for a complete set of After Dark shows featuring cosplay guests, a beverage or two, and no filters. Putting together last-minute cosplays on stage, saucy storytelling that may or may not actually be lies, and the return of the Cosplay Mystery date! Will our cosplayers find love? Come find out!

The night will be capped off by the amazing producer Starling Strix, who will take over the Main Stage for a star-studded lineup in ‘Cirque Du Cosplay, ’ a 90 minute extravaganza of skill and sex appeal!
