Production process
Early preparations
The sign up channel for the audience members of the program in this season will officially open at 12 noon Beijing time on 27 April 2026. That evening, a set of AI-generated posters featuring《Singer 2026》line-up of initial singers began circulating online. This set of posters highly matched the official layout of the production team in visual design, and included names such as Angela Zhang, Henry Lau, and Mai Mizuhashi, who were previously rumored to be part of the Singer line-up. That evening, Mai Mizuhashi, who was rumored to be one of the initial singers, responded first, claiming that "she was also surprised", whereas she did not make a clear statement regarding the authenticity of the content in the poster. However, the performances of Japanese artists have been completely suspended in China starting from 28 November 2025 due to the 2025 China–Japan diplomatic crisis. On April 28, the production team issued a statement through its official Weibo account, stating that the posters in question were all created by netizens and were not official version, and the official line-up have not been announced .[4][5]
