For over 43 years, Phantom has been Aotearoa’s noticeboard—amplifying the voices of artists, musicians, and event organizers. From underground gigs to major festivals, we’ve been there, making sure audiences find what’s next.
It all started in 1983, when Jim Wilson took to the streets with a paste bucket and a stack of gig posters. Word spread, bands came knocking, and Phantom became a vital part of the indie music and arts scene. Today, that same spirit drives us. We’re still backing the arts, still making noise, and still giving events the street-level presence they deserve.
Phantom’s Arts & Events Network is built to connect you with the right crowd. Our exclusive bollards, A3 posters, and high-visibility formats put your message where it matters. Whether it’s a theatre production, an art exhibition, or a sold-out show in the making, we make sure people know about it.
The arts thrive on passion, persistence, and a little bit of magic. We get that. That’s why our network is cost-effective, smartly placed, and designed for impact. Because every event deserves an audience, and the street is still the best place to find one.
