Comic Con India to kick off 2026-27 season in Vizag on October 10-11
Visakhapatnam, Aug 25 (TNT): Comic Con India will kick off its 2026-27 season in Visakhapatnam on October 10 and 11, with the event being held at Kalam Convention Centre for the first time, organisers said on Tuesday.
The Vizag edition will mark Comic Con India’s entry into the city as part of its expansion across metro and tier-2 cities following its acquisition by NODWIN Gaming, the organisers said in a release here on Tuesday.
Comic Con India CEO Shefali Johnson said Visakhapatnam’s strong connection with Telugu cinema, along with its growing anime, cosplay and student communities, had contributed to the decision to begin the new season in the city.
NODWIN Gaming Co-founder and Managing Director Akshat Rathee said the expansion to new cities was aimed at making pop culture experiences more accessible to fans beyond traditional metros.
The event will bring together gamers, comic book fans, creators, cosplayers and other pop culture enthusiasts, with attractions including international guests, live music, stand-up comedy, exclusive launches and immersive fan zones.
The organisers said the event would also provide a platform for local stories and cultural influences alongside contemporary pop culture formats.
The previous Comic Con India season travelled across 11 cities and attracted more than 3.5 lakh attendees, making it the biggest season of the event so far, according to the organisers.
Tickets for the Vizag edition are now available.
