Exciting Highlights from Poppin'Party's New Year LIVE

On January 3, 2026, the much-anticipated Poppin'Party New Year LIVE concert titled ‘Happy BanG Year!!’ took place at the Tokyo Garden Theater, orchestrated by Bushiroad Music. This event marked a festive celebration and was graced by numerous fans, allowing the band members to connect intimately through their music.

The concert kicked off with an inspiring opening ceremony where each member unveiled their unique calligraphy works, setting an uplifting tone for the evening. Following that, they launched into their first hit single, 'Yes! BanG_Dream!', much to the delight of the audience.

During the concert, an engaging twist was introduced when the performance was modeled after a board game, with music pieces corresponding to specific themes. The theme of 'Hatsumode' (first shrine visit of the year) led to a spirited segment where the band prayed for their wishes in front of a Torii gate-inspired backdrop during the interlude of 'What's the POPIPA!?'. The vibe was vibrant and interactive, pulling cheers and applause from the audience.

As the live show progressed, Poppin'Party moved into heartfelt renditions of ‘Setsunai Sandglass’ and their latest single ‘Drive Your Heart.’ The energetic debut of these tracks created an electrifying atmosphere, causing the audience's spirits to soar as they enthusiastically sang along. In this part of the concert, everyone felt connected through music as memories and emotions were shared.

The second half of the concert featured an exhilarating segment called 'New Year’s Marathon Challenge.' Here, they performed an impressive medley of four songs, starting with 'Time Lapse' and continuing with an enthusiastic rendition of 'Poppin’ Dream!'. This rapid-fire performance was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, perfectly encapsulating the excitement of a New Year celebration.

When the encore began, the lively gameplay mood returned as they repeated the opening number, 'Yes! BanG_Dream!', creating a circular experience for the audience. This was followed by a special video message from Ai Aiba, who plays Yuki Nakano from Roselia, where exciting news was also shared regarding a simultaneous release of a new single featuring both Poppin'Party and Roselia on April 29.

As a thrilling conclusion, Poppin'Party performed a cover of Roselia’s 'FIRE BIRD', which spurred the audience into a frenzy, leading to an electrifying finale with the energetic track 'TARINAI'. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and cheer, showcasing the enduring essence of Poppin'Party and concluding the concert on a high note.

Looking ahead, Poppin'Party's calendar shows even more exciting events, including the BanG Dream! 10th Anniversary LIVE set for February 28 and a collaborative live event with Roselia on May 3, 2026.
