Catzye Take
Announcing an event headliner two years out is definitely unusual, but it puts the Fandom Party firmly on everyone's SDCC 2026 radar. While not strictly anime, SDCC is a huge crossover event, and a rock legend like Armstrong brings massive mainstream buzz. Fans should keep a close eye on Fandom's channels for those golden tickets.
