The event will span two days with three stages: Grand, Groove, and Prime. Day 1 on the Grand Stage features Asano Ruri and the rock unit The Star, comprising MaiR and FKBC, with Lir.E performing there on both days. The Prime Stage on Day 1 hosts zombie idol Ci-chan, Himesaki Yumeno, and Miyoi Elena. Day 2 brings VR idol group Enogu, Fu Tenri, and LuicA to the Grand Stage, while Sumika, Tatasu Kaori, and Mashiro Yuki appear on the Prime Stage. The Groove Stage lineup is still unannounced, with more acts to follow. ProjectBLUE expects the total roster to exceed 100 performers, billing the event as among the largest in VTuber history. Shinkai Fes began in 2020 as a free online YouTube live event and moved to paid live shows in 2023.
