Profile

Formed in Tokyo in 2010, BABYMETAL are a trailblazing trio—SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL—credited with pioneering “kawaii metal,” fusing J-pop hooks and precision choreography with thunderous live metal by the Kami Band. Their sound shifts from power-/metalcore riffing to EDM-driven drops and sing-along choruses, a genre-mixing approach highlighted across their albums and live shows. Recent overseas activity (2025–26): On May 30, 2025 they sold out London’s O2 Arena—the first Japanese group to headline the venue—then launched a 20+ date North American headlining tour (June–July) with Black Veil Brides, Jinjer, and Bloodywood on select dates. A special U.S. arena show at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome is set for Nov 1, 2025; an Asia leg runs from Sept 2025 (Busan International Rock Festival, F1 Singapore GP, plus headline dates), with 2026 festivals including Sweden Rock and Rock am Ring confirmed. In 2025 they released the collaborative album METAL FORTH, building on momentum from 2024’s viral single “RATATATA” with Electric Callboy.
