Comicon Napoli 2027
Italy's big pop culture festival returns to Naples from 29 April to 2 May 2027, with video games among its themes.
Comicon Napoli is a four-day pop culture festival in Naples, Italy, covering comics, games, film, music and more. The official site lists the 2027 edition for 29 April to 2 May.
The festival is broader than a pure gaming show, but video games are one of the areas COMICON promotes on its official site. The 2026 edition included video game panels with industry professionals and guests such as voice actor Troy Baker. That edition was held at the Mostra d'Oltremare and reported more than 650 events, over 480 guests and 520 exhibitors.
The 2027 programme, guests, prices and venue have not been confirmed on the official site at the time of writing, so check there before booking. Tickets for COMICON events are sold through ticket.comicon.it.
For players in Croatia and the wider Adriatic region, Naples is a reasonable spring trip if you want games alongside cosplay, comics and other pop culture rather than a show focused only on gaming.
