Sheena Ringo will bring back her “Party Convention” series next spring with Sheena Ringo Party Convention Reiwa 8 Archipelago Tour, a hall tour running from March to May 2026. It is the first edition in thirteen years, following the 2013 Party Convention Heisei 25 Kamiyama-chō Convention at Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Shibuya.

The 2013 event centred on an acoustic, chamber-style format across five nights in a single venue. The 2026 tour broadens that framework into 18 dates across 8 cities, beginning at The Symphony Hall in Osaka on March 17th and closing at Takasaki City Theatre on May 28th.

The Orchard Hall shows in 2013 were built around strict acoustic principles. Electric instruments were removed entirely, and Sheena performed with a small ensemble led by Neko Saito, reshaping her catalogue with strings, piano, accordion, and contrabass. The production stayed visually minimal, keeping the focus on the acoustic performance and clearly distinguishing the shows from her more elaborate past arena tours.

The 2026 tour returns to that hall-based approach. Each venue has been chosen for its acoustic reputation, a move from the arena scale of last year’s Ringo Expo ’24 -Economic Recovery-. Cities such as Yamagata and Shizuoka will host a Party Convention for the first time, extending the concept beyond the single-location model of 2013.

Fan club members are the first to gain access. Ringo-han is accepting advance reservations through December 4th. On the mobile site SR Nekoyanagi Main Line Pocket, members with more than three years of subscription can apply from December 5th at noon until December 12th, while applications for all other members run from December 10th at noon until December 19th. General ticket sales begin on February 22nd, 2026.

Clips from the 2014 live DVD and Blu-ray of the 2013 Party Convention are available on Sheena Ringo’s official YouTube channel.
