COMIC CON STOCKHOLM
We have organized Comic Con since 2014 and created unforgettable memories for tens of thousands of young and old fans in Malmö, Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Stockholm. 2023 was Comic Con’s tenth year since it premiered in 2014 (with a pandemic hiatus in 2020). We then also moved from Kistamässan to Stockholmsmässan and attracted over 44,000 happy visitors to the event.
2024 will be a maximum Comic Con year when you will be able to take part in two Comic Con in Stockholm – once in the winter and for the first time ever also in the summer! In May 2024, we will bring our new concept Made in Asia (which premiered in the summer of 2023 at Kistamässan) and include it in Comic Con Stockholm. So don’t miss Comic Con Summer + Made in Asia on 3-5 May 2024 at Kistamässan and Comic Con Winter 1-3 Nov 2024 at Stockholmsmässan.
We produce the Nordics’ largest event for popular culture!
With us you can experience activities inspired by TV & film, meet current actors, Comic Artists and digital creators. Also take part in world-class cosplay or play new games before everyone else. Comic Con is a magical experience for both young and old.

No, we encourage our visitors to come in cosplay outfits either way.
- Your weapon must be allowed according to the Swedish Arms Act, and the law on knives and other objects.
- If your weapon doesn’t resemble anything that could be dangerous to others (for example, a papier mache replica), you don’t have to worry about breaking any of our rules. Items intended as toys for children up to 14 years of age (eg a one-ton plastic water gun) are approved. Items that cannot be mistaken for a real weapon (eg a lightsaber from Star Wars or a phaser from Star Trek) are also accepted in the exhibition hall.

- Replicas of eg knives, swords, axes are okay (these weapons must not be sharp).
- It is forbidden to use nails, sharp edges or the like if these can injure people.

At Comic Con Stockholm, we strive to create an inclusive and accessible experience for all our visitors. Therefore, we now offer a special wristband for visitors with a DISABILITY who can present a certificate. With this wristband you get access to the “Fast Track” in the same places as those with Fast Pass tickets (at the entrance, Heroes Main Stage, Heroes Meet and Creators Corner). This wristband does not replace the admission ticket, you still need to have a ticket to Comic Con.
To get your wristband, you show your certificate at the information desk at Stockholmsmässan (you do not send the certificate to us in advance). If you have a assistent with you, they will also receive a wristband. On site, you then show the wristbands to our volunteers to be able to use the Fast Pass line. We hope this makes your visit to Comic Con Stockholm both smoother and more enjoyable.
