BABYMETAL at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island

Nothing Baby About BABYMETAL

Ever heard of kawaii metal? 

Ever thought that a unique mixture of the Japanese idol genres and heavy metal could be totally off-the-charts? And adding precision choreography, next-level production value, heavy pyrotechnics, crazy technical proficiency, and an anonymous band to it? 

All we can say, is that if you haven’t had BABYMETAL on your radar at any time since they exploded onto the metal scene with their very first performance in 2010 at the Sakura Gakuin Festival 2010 and their subsequent debut single Ijime, Dame, Zettai in 2011, it’s about time that you refocus your radar to them. 

2026 North American Tour

Anybody who’s been following BABYMETAL will jump at any opportunity to catch them live, and those who haven’t, this is your chance, because they have just announced their biggest tour yet, alongside the release of the deluxe edition of one of 2025’s best metal albums METAL FORTH. BABYMETAL will be kicking off their massive 2026 North American tour at the end of August 2026 in San Diego, California, with stops in all the major cities, including Noblesville, Bristow, Alpharetta, St. Louis, Austin, and Phoenix, before wrapping up in early October 2026 in Sacramento, California. 

Brilliant, Fun, And Very, Very Metal

One thing that is for certain: BABYMETAL puts on a show to die for. From their explosive rocket-like energy to their mesmerising stage presence, from their powerful vocals that range from gorgeous clean tones to death growls to the iconic audience engagement, from their unique kawaii sound underlined by the intensity of raw metal to insane musical prowess of their masked Kami band, BABYMETAL is brilliant, fun, and very, very metal. 

Special Guests

BABYMETAL will be joined on tour by Lzzy Hale’s fierce rock outfit Halestorm, best known for face-melters such as Bad Romance, I Miss The Misery, and I Get Off, alongside up-and-coming alternative and metal star Violent Vira.
