MCM London May 2025 - Lip Sync Battle Application

The Lip Sync Battle is back by popular demand! On Friday 23rd May 2025, the Lip Sync Battle will see eager participants take to Centre Stage to perform a lip sync of their choice, with a Drag Race Queen selecting their favourite to battle it out for the MCM Crown and the chance to win tickets to the next MCM Comic Con, and a fun merch prize. Cosplay is not required, but (as always) is highly encouraged! Applications will close on Friday 2nd May, after which a panel will assess all applications and confirm if you have secured a place in the final line-up ahead of the show.
