Singapore's longest-running year-end Japanese pop-culture celebration is coming back to the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre this festive season. The EOY Music, Comics & Arts Festival 2026 will take place at Hall 405 on 25 and 26 December 2026, organised once again by Events of the Year Pte Ltd. Running since 2009, EOY has grown into one of the region's most beloved gatherings for J-pop, anime, cosplay, comics and ACG enthusiasts, and it returns to Suntec after a one-year stint at the Raffles City Convention Centre.
What to Expect
Festival hours typically run from 12.30pm to 8.00pm on both days, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the full programme. The lineup centres on a few signature attractions:
- Creators' Alley — over 100 local and regional artists and crafters showcasing original illustrations, fan-derivative artwork, comics, enamel pins, plushies and event-exclusive merchandise.
- Main Stage Performances — non-stop music and dance from homegrown singers, cover dancers and guest artistes from Japan and across Asia, complete with projections and a line-array sound system.
- Cosplay Showcase — a welcoming space for elaborate subculture outfits, character cosplay and walk-in photography, open to newcomers and veterans alike.
- Exhibitor Booths — official anime goods, trading-card vendors, apparel brands and interactive community booths.
- Art Showcases — curated displays highlighting both traditional and digital illustration from emerging Southeast Asian talent.
Tickets and Admission
EOY 2026 is a ticketed event, with admission prices to be confirmed closer to the date. For reference, EOY 2025 was priced from $19.90 for a single-day pass, $34.80 for a two-day pass, and a $138 Premium Pass that bundled both days with priority entry. Every ticket includes free access to all exhibitor booths and Creators' Alley. Tickets are expected to be released via SG Culture Pass and Eventbrite, and exhibitor passes must be purchased online by 20 December 2026 — there are no door sales for booths.
Getting There
Suntec Singapore is located at 1 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039593, with direct underground links to Promenade MRT (CC4/DT15) and Esplanade MRT (CC3). Hall 405 sits on Level 4 of the convention centre, a short escalator ride up from the main atrium. Plenty of F&B options are available within Suntec City Mall and the surrounding Raffles Link corridor.
Practical Tips
- Arrive early on Day 1 for the best selection of limited-run prints and artist exclusives at Creators' Alley.
- Two-day passes offer the best value if you plan to catch stage acts across both afternoons.
- Cosplay changing facilities and baggage storage are provided — check the official map on arrival.
- Bring cash and a card; most booths accept both, but some indie artists are cash-only.
