Walker Stalker Con is the biggest Walking Dead conference. But, for Australian fans, it has been a matter of watching from afar as the event occurs mainly in the U.S. However, Australian fans can finally start preparing for their own Walker Stalker Con thanks to a recent announcement.

Australian fans had started to get their hopes up when the Twitter account for Walker Stalker Con started posting hints recently. Many fans signed up for the newsletter, and just this morning, the official announcement was made.

“After two sold-out events in London, and more than 30 star-studded events across the United States, Walker Stalker Con is coming to Australia!” the official email confirmed.

Along with the email, a guest list has already been announced for the Australian leg of Walker Stalker Con. Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Alanna Masterson (Tara), Ross Marquand (Aaron), and Katelyn Nacon (Enid) are already confirmed guests. It is likely more guests will be announced in the lead-up to the event.

So, when will Walker Stalker Con hit Australian shores?

According to the website, Walker Stalker Con will arrive at Sydney first, on February 3 and 4 of next year, at the Sydney showgrounds. Melbourne will get their turn the following weekend, February 10 and 11, at the Melbourne showgrounds.

Australian Walking Dead fans can already sign up for early pre-sales by becoming a Frontier member here.

Walker Stalker Con will include the following activities for fans.

  • FX, the home of The Walking Dead in Australia, is offering sanctuary to all who visit, in a heavily themed compound filled with activations to keep the walkers at bay and fans of the series entertained.
  • Escape The Biters activation – Those up for the challenge can follow in the footsteps of the show’s survivors and walk, run or crawl through a house on the hunt for supplies, avoid the zombies and get out ASAP.
  • A team of incredibly talented tattoo and graphic artists, helmed by celebrity tattoo artist Chris 51 (A&E’s Epic Ink, GeeksterInk Legends).
  • Vendors who deal in the comic, entertainment, zombie and other genres and industries.
