Con of Thrones, the largest-ever convention for fans of Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, and the assorted worlds and works of George R. R. Martin, will run from June 30 to July 2 2017 at the historic Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The event will feature panels, interviews, discussions and more, and promises to boast a terrific lineup of guests, including some of the stars of the series.
The first of these guests have recently been announced. Topping the bill is none other than Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), who will be joining the convention from Friday to Saturday. Aside from his intense work as Ramsay Snow/Bolton over four seasons of the show, Rheon’s other work include his portrayal of Simon Bellamy in the E4 series Misfits and Ash Weston in the ITV sitcom Vicious. The Welsh actor is also a talented musician—his debut album, Dinard, was released in 2015.
Also confirmed to be in attendance is Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon). When she’s not being burned alive at the stake, Ingram can also be found showcasing her musical gifts. Prior to her work on Thrones, she received an Olivier award for Best Actress in a Musical, following a well-received performance as Matilda Wormwood in Matilda the Musical. Ingram will attend the event from Friday to Sunday. Additional special guests will be announced at a later date.
