First ever full UK headline tour kicks off in February 2020
Japanese dance-metal sensation Babymetal has released their third LP Metal Galaxy via earMUSIC. To celebrate, the band will be playing a sold-out Los Angeles show this evening at The Forum where they are bringing their huge, Japanese arena production to North America for the first time. The show is one of the final shows in a month-and-a-half long US tour. The band will continue their world domination as they head back home for their sold-out arena tour in Japan in November and European headline dates to follow in 2020.
The album, set in the Babymetal universe, is about an odyssey the band must take to the Metal Galaxy, a trajectory thrust upon them by the FOX GOD. Each song brings them closer to their desired destination starting with their previously released “Distortion“, “Starlight“, “Elevator Girl“, “PA PA YA!!” featuring Thai rapper F.HERO, “Shanti Shanti Shanti” and now latest single “Kagerou”. The album also features vocalist Joakim Brodén from Sabaton, Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy, guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage from Polyphia and Japanese guitarist Tak Matsumoto from B’z.
