As we enter 2025 (or… 2402…?) there’s no rest for the crew of the Tesla as the team are already back in action making a return to two of the biggest events in Scotland! One of the most active and welcoming crew, the year is already off to a flying start with more to come through the year! The first events of the year include….
Capital Sci Fi Con
February 15th & 16th, O2 Academy Edinburgh
Always the best way to kick start the year, Tesla is once again heading to Edinburgh for their first away mission in 2025! This years guest line up is one for the Whovians! This year the Fifth Doctor himself Peter Davidson will be in attendance for photo and autograph opportunities alongside co-star Janet Fielding, better known in the TARDIS as Fifth Doctor Companion Tegan! Joinig them is Graham McTavish, known for a fairly large amount of roles including Outlander and Preacher, Star Wars own Emperor Palpatine Ian McDonald and more!
Aside from being a gathering of geeks with guests and attractions, Capital Sci Fi’s links to CHAS – including it’s organising committee being run by staff and volunteers – the charity-focused events have helped support CHAS’s mission to offering support for children and their families with life shortening conditions. Since launching in 2016, Capital has not only grown in scale and scope, but has raised over £370,000 as of their last event in 2023 and have no plans to slow down in their support. You can find the team in attendance over the weekend of February 16th & 17th at the O2 Academy in Edinburgh. You can find out more and purchase tickets at the Capital Sci Fi website, or visit CHAS for more information on their work.
Fan Frontiers Power Gaming & Comic Con
March 8th & 9th, SEC Glasgow
The name might not feel familiar, but the event certainly will! Formerly known as ACME Comic Con, whats now known as Power has been one of the core places to meet the crew of the Tesla who have become a firm part of the diverse and welcoming fan centric communities hosting everything from Rebel Legions to Ghostbusters! With guests still to come, Power have already announced one of the main stars of incredibly popular game Balders Gate 3 to be in attendance! In the game she’s a little less recognisable being a large red demon, but in real world Amanda Beart is a BAFA nominated voice actor with an extensive and impressive backlog of impressive work in voice work!
With more to come, Power may be coming to Glasgow under a different name, but you can expect the same friendly and energetic atmosphere as the team returns to the SEC in March! You can finds out more and grab your tickets at the Power Website or TicketMaster.
