Roselia’s Asia Tour Hits a Snag with Shanghai Cancellation
The Roselia ASIA TOUR “Neuweltfahrt” has been electrifying stages across Asia, kicking off in Osaka on November 22, 2025, and charting a course through cities like Singapore, Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai, and Tokyo. However, fans were met with disappointing news: the Shanghai concerts, scheduled for January 16 and 17, 2026, have been officially canceled due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the organizers’ control.
This announcement comes amidst a wave of recent concert cancellations for other major Japanese artists like Ayumi Hamasaki, Momoiro Clover Z, and Yuzu. Online reactions to Roselia’s news were a mix of understanding and regret, with many netizens commenting, “It’s a shame, but what can you do?” The sentiment was particularly strong among international fans, who voiced their disappointment at missing the chance to see the band live in Shanghai.
A Silver Lining: Surprise Additional Shows in Osaka
In a twist of fate, the very same day brought a positive update for fans in Japan. An additional tour concert was hastily announced for Zepp Osaka Bayside. The official statement addressed the situation: “Regarding the Shanghai concert, due to reasons of force majeure, we very regrettably have reached the decision to cancel the event. Although we are unable to hold it in Shanghai, in order to deliver Roselia’s stage on the originally scheduled dates, we have made the quick decision to hold additional tour concerts within Japan.”
But the good news doesn’t stop there! To include fans who can’t make it to Osaka, it was also revealed that the concert on Saturday, January 17, 2026, will feature a partial free live stream of the opening segment. This stream will be available on the official YouTube channel “BanG Dream! Channel” and the “bilibili BanG Dream! Channel,” offering a fixed-point video feed for a glimpse of the action.
Fan Reactions: From Disappointment to Delight
The announcement of the Osaka replacement shows was met with a wave of relief and excitement online. Comments poured in praising the quick turnaround: “I’m amazed they managed to secure a venue so fast…”, “Thank you for arranging an additional concert!”, and “Having a free stream too is awesome!” The mood quickly shifted from one of letdown to anticipation.
While the canceled Shanghai date is undoubtedly a blow, the band’s swift response to deliver performances on the same weekend has been widely appreciated. Everyone is now crossing their fingers for a future opportunity to see Roselia rock out in Shanghai.
Looking Ahead: A Massive Joint Live on the Horizon
Beyond this tour, Roselia has another huge event locked in. A monumental Poppin’Party × Roselia Joint Live is set to take place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Ariake Arena. This collaboration marks the first joint live between these two powerhouse groups from the BanG Dream! project in roughly five years, since the BanG Dream! 9th☆LIVE “The Beginning” back in August 2021.
Concert Visual: Poppin’Party×Roselia Joint Live
For fans eager to secure tickets early, the fastest lottery application forms will be included in the first pressings of two singles: Roselia’s currently available 18th Single “Steadfast Spirits” and Poppin’Party’s 21st Single “Drive Your Heart”, which is slated for release on Wednesday, December 24.
