Singapore’s mid-year pop-culture calendar just got a must-attend date. AFA Creators Super Fest 2026 (CSF26) is returning to Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre on 11–12 July 2026, bringing two days of anime art, cosplay, live music, and hands-on creative workshops to Hall 403–405.

What Is Creators Super Fest?

Running under the banner of “CREATE. SHARE. PLAY.”, CSF is Anime Festival Asia (AFA)‘s annual community-driven festival built specifically for the ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) creator scene. Unlike a standard convention, it puts the spotlight squarely on the talent behind the art — illustrators, cosplayers, crafters, and performers from Singapore and across the region come together to showcase work, run workshops, and meet fans face-to-face. This year’s edition takes over Hall 403–405, a larger footprint than previous years, with a revamped floor plan designed for easier navigation.

Guest Illustrator: lack

Headlining the art side is lack (stylised in lowercase), a renowned Japanese illustrator whose career on Pixiv stretches over a decade. Fate/Grand Order fans will recognise his distinctive style from the Servant designs he contributed to FGO, including Okada Izou, Sétanta, Andromeda, and Toudou Heisuke. Meeting him at an autograph or talk session is the kind of opportunity that rarely makes it to Singapore — the full programme for his appearance will be confirmed closer to July.

Super Akiba Stage: Rie-fu, Kohana Lam and Yomii

The live music lineup is equally strong. Three artists who will resonate deeply with anime fans are confirmed for the Super Akiba Stage:

• Rie-fu — the Tokyo-born singer-songwriter whose bilingual track “Life is Like a Boat” became the beloved ending theme for early-run Bleach in 2004. She also contributed music to Gundam SEED Destiny, Darker than Black, and D.Gray-man. Catching her perform live in Singapore is a rare chance.
• Kohana Lam — the avex trax singer-songwriter behind anime themes for The Dangers in My Heart and My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me!, with her 2026 album Time With You (out February) already turning heads across the region.
• Yomii — the Japanese indie-pop artist bringing her atmospheric sound to the CSF stage.

What to Expect on the Floor

The CSF26 floor spans Hall 403–405 and is divided into dedicated zones across the two days:

• Creators Hub — browse exclusive artwork, prints, and merchandise directly from premium and standard artist tables, with more names being announced in the weeks ahead.
• Cosplay Hub — more than 30 confirmed cosplayers will be on the floor over both days, available for photos and interaction.
• Cosplay Singles Competition — competitors go head-to-head for cash prizes in one of the event’s most-watched highlights.
• Creators Lab — live workshops where you can watch and participate as artists demonstrate their process in real time.
• Fashion Hub — ACG-inspired fashion from regional designers and creators.
• Super Akiba Stage — the main performance stage for the music acts above and additional programming to be announced.

Getting There

Suntec Singapore is one of the most accessible convention venues in the city. Take the Circle Line to Esplanade MRT (CC3) — Hall 403–405 is roughly a 3-minute, 248-metre walk from the station exit. Event hours are 9am–6pm on both Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July.

Tickets

CSF26 is a ticketed event. Ticket prices and sale dates have not yet been announced — follow the official Creators Super Fest website and @creatorssuperfest on Instagram for updates.

Last words

With guest illustrator lack representing the Fate/Grand Order art world and Rie-fu bringing anime-classic credentials stretching back to 2004, CSF 2026 has the lineup to draw a wide crowd — from competitive cosplayers to fans who simply want a July weekend surrounded by passionate ACG creators.
