About BABYMETAL

Formed in Japan in 2010, BABYMETAL have grown from the seeds sown by band overseer KOBAMETAL and evolved steadily into one of the most powerful musical phenomena in the world today. Backed and supported by some of the finest metal musicians their native land has to offer, SU-METAL,YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL began their mission to unify the world through Heavy Metal with the release of their debut single, ‘Ijime, Dame, Zettai’, which was an instant success in Japan and word about the trio swiftly spread to all four corners of the globe when their video for ‘Gimme Chocolate!!’ hit the internet and rapidly went viral.

Since then, BABYMETAL’s reputation had crossed the globe and was beginning to make waves in Europe and America too. Succeeding their first ever Arena headline show in the UK at the SSE Arena Wembley in April 2016, BABYMETAL are scheduled to perform two nights in a row at the prestigious TOKYO DOME this September to a collective audience of 110,000 people. BABYMETAL’s second studio album METAL RESISTANCE was released on April 01, 2016.
