GENT – Duizenden verklede fans, interstellaire acteurs, de grootste Star Wars-decors en genoeg buitenaards leuke activiteiten en shops: dat is FACTS. Wat door het jaar schijnbaar aan de achterkant van de maan verborgen blijft, komt hier dit weekend in Flanders Expo, in volle zon naar boven. Artemis II heeft geen foto’s van het spektakel genomen, maar wij gelukkig wel.

Het gevestigde popcultuur-evenement FACTS bracht vandaag opnieuw duizenden fans op de been. Een van de grootste trekpleisters is wellicht de line-up van gasten uit de film-, tv-, gaming- en comic-wereld.

Met acteurs van onder meer Harry Potter, The Rookie, Supernatural en Star Trek lijken de signeertafels, panel-podia en fotoshoot-sets een eigen wet van de zwaartekracht te ontwikkelen. Stemacteurs van de Gentse topgame Baldur’s Gate III tekenen present, alsook een grote schare aan comic-artiesten van Marvel en DC.

Maar FACTS is nog veel meer dan dat. Het evenement kan als geen ander hoge toppen scheren in sfeer, community-gevoel en nostalgie. Grote shows van Technopolis, Red Bull en k-pop-dansers, lessen in Bridgerton-dansen, waterverf en riddergevechten, familiemomenten aan knutseltafels en gloednieuwe bordspelletjes, 400+ geeky verkoopstandjes met Pokémon, vikinghoorns en toverstokken en ga zo maar door.

Het evenement wordt bovendien geruggensteund door meer dan 55 officiële fanclubs en hun decors van Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, Star Wars en veel meer, een groot record.

Dit indrukwekkende moederschip in Belgiës grootste geeky vloot strijkt morgen neer voor een nieuwe lading popcultuur-passagiers. Wil je ook de schatten van het multiversum ontdekken? Koop dan vandaag nog je tickets via www.facts.be/nl!
