Fan Expo Bringing "An Evening With the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years" to a City Near You in 2026
A cool new event has been announced by Fan Expo, which caters to the Lord of the Rings fans out there who’d like to see their favorite Hobbits reunited.
An Evening With the Hobbits: In Celebration of 25 Years is going on tour, reuniting the stars of the film- Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan.
According to a press release, “An Evening with the Hobbits” will be “more than a reunion and so much more than a panel” and is described as being “part variety show, part storytelling session, and all fun.”
Lest anyone think these events will be the same “show” every time, fear not, Fan Expo HQ says ”fans can expect a lively mix of behind-the-scenes memories, on-stage antics, heartfelt reflections, and plenty of laughs along the way.”
