Reed Exhibitions has confirmed that the 2020 edition of Comic Con Cape Town and the co-located Cape Town International Animation Festival has been cancelled. 

The show will now be held from 24 - 27 April 2021 and will still take place at the Cape Town Stadium. 

Portfolio Director Carla Massmann says: "The organising team is deeply saddened and regrets this unavoidable turn of events."

Comic Con Cape Town is keeping a strong focus on communication with fans through digital channels with regular Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and newsletter updates.

Fans will have a choice between refunding their ticket or rolling it over to the new dates in 2021. This process will be managed hand-in-hand with ticketing partner Howler. 

For fans wondering about the international talent announced to date, Carla continues: "We are a close-knit global family. We stay in regular contact with them. Right up until this announcement they remained excited to attend the Con. They are just as disappointed as we are and we will keep you updated on all 2021 guest announcements in due course."
