Sydney, get ready. The Animaga Starlight Stage is coming to ICC Sydney in 2026, bringing the heart and soul of the convention to life. This is more than a stage; it’s where creativity, music, and performance collide, celebrating the artistry that defines anime and pop culture.
As the lights rise and the music begins, the Starlight Stage transforms into a showcase of unforgettable performances. From powerful vocals that move the crowd to high-energy dance routines, idol group showcases, and acoustic storytelling, every moment is designed to captivate and connect. It’s where performers share their passion and audiences feel the magic up close.
The Starlight Stage is a platform for both emerging and established artists.
