SNH48 GROUP has officially locked in one of its most anticipated annual events, confirming that the 12th Request Time Concert will take place on 14 March 2026 at 7.00pm local time at the Shanghai Jing’an Sports Center – Indoor Arena, and the fandom is already counting down.
This year’s Request Time isn’t being treated as just another concert. According to the official announcement, SNH48 GROUP is pushing a noticeable upgrade across stage design, visual storytelling, and audio quality, signalling a more immersive and polished live experience compared to previous editions. For long-time fans, this alone is enough to spark high expectations.
The 12th Request Time concert carries a poetic concept centred on the members’ journey from morning light to a star-filled night.
The stage for the Golden Melody Awards-inspired theme is described as a space where younger members, in particular, are encouraged to shine in their own right, under lights meant to symbolise personal growth, confidence, and ambition.
Many fans see this as a subtle shift in tone for SNH48 GROUP, placing more emphasis on individual presence while still maintaining the collective spirit that defines the group.
REQUEST TIME BEST 30 Takes Centre Stage
As always, the highlight of the night will be “REQUEST TIME BEST 30”, where 30 fan-selected songs will be performed live.
The setlist, arranged alphabetically by song title and not by performance order, includes a wide mix of energetic anthems, emotional ballads, and classic fan favourites such as AfterParty, Moonlight, SWAN-天鹅, 星空下的约定, WHO IS YOUR GIRL, and First Love (初恋).
The organisers have also confirmed that performance order will be decided on the night itself, keeping an element of surprise firmly intact.

Adding to the excitement, the concert will feature the first-ever public performance of the main title track from SNH48’s Spring 2026 single, making Request Time not just a celebration of the past, but also a preview of what’s next.
Ticket Sales Schedule
Ticket sales will roll out in stages using a special offer system.
The auction phase opens on 10 February, followed by early bird ticket sales with discounted prices from 11 to 13 February.
General ticket sales will then officially begin on 14 February through SNH48 GROUP’s authorised platform. Given past trends, fans are already predicting fierce competition, especially for premium seats.

Fan Meeting Continues the Momentum
The excitement won’t stop with the concert. SNH48 GROUP has also announced a large-scale fan meeting on 15 March 2026, turning the weekend into a full celebration for fans travelling to Shanghai. Online reactions have been mixed but lively.
Many fans welcomed the upgraded production and symbolic concept, calling it a “return to form” for Request Time. Others are already debating the BEST 30 song lineup, with some praising the balance between newer tracks and classics, while a few questioned the absence of certain fan-loved songs.
Netizens on discussion boards have also noted the early reveal of the Spring 2026 title track as a smart move, saying it adds extra value to the concert beyond nostalgia.
The date now confirmed and ticket sales around the corner, the conversation is only getting louder. Which song are you most excited to hear live, and do you think the BEST 30 list truly reflects the fandom’s taste this year?
