The costumes are pressed, the marker pens readied, and plans are being made, as the biggest pop culture event – Singapore Comic Con (SGCC) 2025 – returns for comic book, movie, anime, manga fans and much more! This year’s event, which spans 6 and 7 December (plus an Ultimate Preview Night on the evening of 5 December), promises to be its largest yet, with three halls bristling with activities, from the main show floor on level 1 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, alongside tabletop and card games galore at basement 2. Check out the floor plan below:
With the main floor now covering 250,000 sq. ft and spanning Halls A, B, and C on Level 1, alongside Halls D and E at Basement 2, the additional space means that SGCC’s layout has some adjustments, with areas such as the main stage and food hall now conveniently situated at Level 1. With all these changes and so much to explore, here’s a handy guide to the must-catch SGCC 2025 highlights to make the most of your two days of geeky Valhalla:
Main Stage Programme Highlights
Amidst the hustle and bustle of two days’ worth of exhibitors, retail experiences, and immersive pop-culture showcases, con-goers will also be treated to non-stop live events happening right on the main stage from creator fan meets, tabletop battles, performances, and everything in between.
