Musical Con Returns for 2026 – Let the Stagey Countdown Begin!

Musical Con, the world’s biggest celebration of all things musical theatre, is officially returning to ExCeL London on 17–18 October 2026 — and it’s going to be massive. Why? Because it’s the 5th anniversary and they’re promising their biggest and boldest con yet. Think bigger guests, louder surprises, and even more sparkle than before (if that’s even possible?).

I went to Musical Con 2025, and let me tell you, it was pure stagey heaven from the cosplay to the cast reunions, live performances, to the fan panels. Whether you were fangirling over West End icons or sobbing through an acoustic “Defying Gravity”, it was one for the books.
