Along with several other artists, this year's event promises several live events, such as performances by Beatboxer Ish, dance performing crew MISBA, mentalist Karan Singh & comedians Abish Mathew, Rahul Dua and Sumiara Sheikh.

“Organising Comic Con in Delhi will always be close to my heart as we did our inaugural show in the city nine years ago,” said Jatin Varma, Founder, Comic Con India. The city has the most enthusiastic comic book fans and cosplayers, who take this celebration of their beloved fandoms very seriously. This year we have some special guests, new launches, and experiential zones.”

“This year,” continued Varma, ”we wanted to align our Cosplay competitions to international formats and we have introduced two new formats of cosplaying, which will certainly delight the city's fans.”

The first category, Indian Championship of Cosplay 2019 Delhi Qualifier, will see participants compete online, thereafter, pre-selected participants will go through a stage display session and compete on 3 parameters – needlework, FX and Armor.

The registrations for ICC 2019 Delhi Qualifier will be done online only. Each day, the winners of the Delhi qualifier round will not only win awards but also qualify to participate in the Indian Championship of Cosplay 2020.
