BGCP Comic Con 2026 Tour Schedule: New Venues, Fan Favourites, and a Fresh Approach

BGCP Comic Con is thrilled to announce the first wave of our 2026 tour dates. Following a massive year of events, we are hitting the road again to bring the best in comics, cosplay, and gaming to towns across Scotland.

A New Chapter for 2026 This year, we are evolving how we run our events to ensure we continue delivering the high-quality experiences you love.

• Ticketed Conventions: To support our move into more varied venues (and some returning favourites where operational costs have risen), we are reintroducing ticketed entry for select conventions. This ensures we can maintain the scale and quality of the event.

• ‘Support the Con’ Donations: For our popular Shopping Centre Takeovers, entry remains Free. However, we have introduced an optional "Donation Ticket" for fans who wish to contribute. Every penny raised goes directly back into the event—funding new movie props, arcade machines, and character costumes to make your experience even better.

New Stops & Returning Legends We heard you loud and clear! By popular demand, we are officially returning to Stirling in August at the Albert Halls.

We are also delighted to announce our debut in Fort William this May. Following the incredible success of Inverness Comic Con, we are committed to bringing more events to the Highlands so fans in the North don't miss out.

More to Come... This calendar is just the beginning. We are currently finalizing details for a return to Loch Lomond Shores this summer. We are also working hard behind the scenes on potential dates for Livingston, Dumfries, and Caledonia Park, subject to venue availability and construction schedules.

Fans of Horror and Anime: Keep your eyes peeled! We will soon be announcing separate tour dates for our sister brands, The Blackheart Market (Horror/Alternative) and The Akuma Anime Market.
