COVER Corp. and 4Gamers are announcing a hololive production collaboration for WirForce 2026, headlined by Usada Pekora and Hakos Baelz. Kobo Kanaeru joins the lineup for a dedicated fan meeting alongside Baelz, marking the first hololive Meet fan meeting ever held at WirForce.
Usada Pekora is one of hololive’s most recognized talents and a mainstay of the agency’s Japan branch, while Hakos Baelz and Kobo Kanaeru represent hololive English and hololive Indonesia respectively. Their joint appearance places three of hololive’s largest branches on the same stage, a rare crossover for a Taiwan-based event.
What’s Happening
The collaboration centers on exclusive merchandise and a live fan meeting, both tied directly to WirForce 2026.

The fan meeting runs September 25 from 13:00 to 14:20 (TST) on the WirForce Main Stage, with live interaction segments and a karaoke performance planned.
WirForce 2026 will be at Taipei World Trade Center
WirForce 2026 lands well ahead of its predecessor. WirForce 2025 ran November 13 to 16, 2025 at the Taipei Floriculture Expo Park’s Viewing Hall. This year’s event runs September 24 to 27, nearly two months earlier, and shifts venues entirely to Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, a more central Taipei convention venue.
Enduring LAN party culture in an Online world
WirForce has run since 2014 and bills itself as one of Asia’s largest LAN party events. The event combines gaming, esports, livestreaming, and music programming, and its BYOC culture, where attendees haul in their own rigs to compete and socialize on-site, is a core part of its identity in the Taiwan gaming scene. This year’s hololive collaboration is the event’s first crossover with a VTuber talent agency of this scale.
Where to Get Tickets
Tickets and pass details are available through the WirForce official website. Fans should confirm fan meeting entry requirements directly through the official ticket page, since priority access to the Kanaeru and Baelz fan meeting is tied to the 96H Support Pass. Official updates are also posted on the WirForce Facebook page, and the original announcement is available on the hololive production official site.
