RetroCon UK is coming to the NEC Birmingham on 2-3 May - Win The Ultimate VIP Experience
Classic Pop is offering readers the chance to win an incredible nostalgia-filled getaway with our RetroCon UK Competition Competition.
Bringing the very best of the 80s, 90s and Noughties together under one roof, RetroCon UK is coming to the NEC Birmingham on 2-3 May.
Kicking off the weekend on 2 May will be a performance by Bros star Matt Goss. Whether you’ve been a superfan since the 80s or love his acclaimed solo work, this is a rare chance to see a true icon of British pop in action. The party continues with much-loved DJ Pat Sharp. Headlining the RetroCon UK aftershow beach party on 2 May, Pat will deliver a high-energy mix of anthems from the golden age of pop.
Beyond the stage, visitors will be able to explore a curated marketplace filled with specialist vendors and creators showcasing the best in retro and pop culture products. From vintage homewares, fashion and classic comic books to retro gaming gear, collectible vinyl, artwork and rare toys, organisers promise something for every nostalgia niche. With expert panels, live podcasts and even an appearance from Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jason Priestley, RetroCon UK is the definitive celebration of the eras we love.
