Hello! Project 2020 ~The Ballad~ is Hello! Project's first autumn concert tour. It will run from September 19, 2020 to December 6, 2020.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided that Hello! Project would hold an autumn concert tour instead of the annual autumn concert tours held by the individual groups. Much like the Hello! Project 2020 Summer COVERS ~The Ballad~, the concerts will feature the members performing solo covers of famous J-Pop ballads by artists outside of Hello! Project. Every stop of the tour will also feature a different selection of members performing.
In compliance with government policy to prevent the spread of the virus, cheering, crowding, and closeness in the venue were prohibited, the venues were filled to 50% capacity, and wearing masks was required to enter. In addition, concert goods were not available at the venues, and were sold exclusively through e-lineUP! Mall.[1]
An additional concert in Nippon Budokan titled Hello! Project 2020 ~The Ballad~ Special Number will be held on December 2. For the concert, the members will be performing mid-tempos and ballads from Hello! Project but instead of performing solo, they will be split into 2-3 smaller sections and combined into six "half-and-half" units, with 4-5 members each.[2]

Trivia
- This is the first Hello! Project concert tour to take place in the fall.
- The October 10 through October 18 shows conflict with BEYOOOOONDS's musical, Arabeyooooonds Nights. As a result, none of the BEYOOOOONDS members were selected to participate in those concerts.
- The singing order of each concert is decided by lottery and will be revealed on Hello! Project's website every Friday.[6]
