Musical Con, the musicals fan event, has announced its return to London in 2026.

Across two days, Musical Con will once again return to the ExCeL London, running on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October 2026.

Billed as the world’s biggest musical theatre fan convention, 2026 marks the fifth anniversary of the annual event.

This year’s 2025 edition of Musical Con featured 80 performers at the ExCeL, including current stars of Cabaret in the West End, Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney, and West End star Kerry Ellis (Wicked), with Andy Nyman (The Producers), Desmonda Cathabel (Hadestown), Stevie Doc (The Devil Wears Prada) and more.

The event regularly hosts over 10,000 attendees. Further details on the line-up of shows and performers will be announced in the coming months.

Co-founder Shanay Holmes, who has recently completed her run as Nancy in Oliver! in the West End, said in a statement: “There are so many things that make this event unique, but it’s the fans who make it magical. Musical Con is such a joyous, inclusive space where the entire community comes together – it is their home, the place where they belong, and we are incredibly proud of that. Five years is an amazing milestone, and we’re going to give it the celebration it truly deserves!”
