BABYMETAL announce huge 2025 arena tour


A new revelation from THE FOX GOD:

“In 2025, BABYMETAL will enter a new era. The METALVERSE will expand and we will travel to a world we have never experienced, with new songs.”

Following this communication from THE FOX GOD, global metal sensation BABYMETAL announce their first-ever Arena Tour of Europe, set to kick off in May 2025. Having headlined arenas and stadiums in their native Japan multiple times, BABYMETAL have comfortably commanded huge shows for years.
