Headlining the festival this year are Lance Henriksen (Norwegian father), who as Bishop in Aliens was arguably cinema’s most iconic and convincing android, and Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings), along with a number of other familiar faces from sci-fi TV.

Johnny from ‘Viking Quest’ won’t be there, but if you’ve seen Entourage, you probably know the kind of vibe you can expect.

With a heavy focus on sci-fi films and TV, gaming, cosplay, anime, comics and horror, come along and check out the movie props, live shows and lightsaber training, and, of course, get some autographs.

Harlem Globetrotters
March 10, 20:00; Ballerup Super Arena; 325kr

Remember when you used to swear the Globetrotters could beat the Lakers! And that Santa was real? Recapture that feeling of childhood innocence and introduce your kids to the magic of their tricks and all-round showboating.

Copenhagen Bike Show

Drag 2 The 80s
March 11, 20:00; Draghouse, Enghavevej 40, Cph V; 150kr

The organisers are promising a massive amount of hairspray, shoulderpads and blue eyeshadow as crowd favourites such as Di Di Cancerella and Daisy Duchesse Daffodil take to the stage to belt out ‘It’s Raining Men’, ‘Tainted love’ and anything by Bronski Beat.

Champagne tasting
March 11, 19: 00; Champagne Cellar, Nørresøgade 21, Cph K; 350kr

For eons, Danes have referred to all manner of sparkling wine as champagne, and finally the oenophiles have had enough. Taste eight different bubblies, order off a tasting menu and receive unpretentious instruction. You’ll never mislabel a cava again!
