Distortion live at Download Festival 2018

BABYMETAL was formed in 2010.
In March 2014, they took the stage at Nippon Budokan for a 2-day gig, making them the
youngest female act to perform there. Their 1st studio album BABYMETAL instantly
made it to the US Billboard charts. In summer of the same year, they embarked on their first
world tour, performing on the main stage at UK’s prodigious festival Sonisphere Festival 2014
in front of 65,000 festival goers and supporting Lady Gaga on her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball 2014 Tour.
In summer of 2015, BABYMETAL received various awards from prominent UK music magazines
KERRANG! and METAL HAMMER and became the first Japanese artist to ever receive these awards.
BABYMETAL also performed on the main stage at the massive Reading & Leeds. In April 2016,
BABYMETAL had a simultaneous global release for their 2nd album METAL RESISTANCE.
Not only did they make the charts in Japan, they also became the highest-charting Japanese
band ever on UK’s Official Albums Chart, landing at No. 15th. They also reached the 39th spot
on its debut on the U.S. Billboard, becoming the first album by a Japanese artist to break into
the chart’s top 40 in more than 53 years. During that same month, BABYMETAL performed at the
prestigious Wembley Arena in the UK, becoming the first Japanese artist to ever headline at the venue.
They completed their world tour in September at the Tokyo Dome for a consecutive 2 days with
over 110,000 people to witness the massive tour final. Not only have they achieved all of the above,
they have performed as special guests in various international locations for the
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, METALLICA, GUNS N’ ROSES, and KORN.
In 2019, BABYMETAL’s headline show at Yokohama Arena in Japan marked the new
beginning of their departure. Literally right after completing their 2-day arena show,
BABYMETAL flew to the UK to perform at one of the world’s largest music festivals,
Glastonbury Festival, and their appearance at this festival made headlines around the world.
That same year in September, BABYMETAL embarked on their METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR;
their first leg of the tour was in the U.S. followed by their dates in Europe.
On October 11th, BABYMETAL had their worldwide release of their 3rd album METAL GALAXY and
on that same day, they had their first U.S. headlining arena show at The Forum in Los Angeles,
California.
“METAL GALAXY” ranked No.13 on the US Billboard Top 200 (Albums Chart), largely surpassing
their own record of their previous album, and ranked No.1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart for the first
time ever as an Asian artist. In the UK Official Charts, the album consecutively ranked in the
Official Albums Chart Top 20 from their previous album and ranked No.1 on the Rock & Metal
Albums Chart for the first time in history as a Japanese artist.
After completing their longest tour ever consisting of 20 shows in the U.S., BABYMETAL returned to
Japan to perform a total of 4 days and had BRING ME THE HORIZON as their guest act. The 4-day
performance titled METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN was held on November 16th – 17th in
Saitama and November 20th – 21st in Osaka, and all shows immediately sold out.
BABYMETAL’s first performance of 2020 took place on January 25th – 26th at
Makuhari Messe in Japan. The two performances were added as extra shows to the Japanese leg of
METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR. Over the course of 2 days, BABYMETAL performed songs out of
their 3rd album METAL GALAXY and each show consisted of different setlists, requiring fans to
visit both dates in order to get the full experience.
In February 2020, BABYMETAL had their full European headline run consisting of 17 dates in 11
countries. BABYMETAL’s challenge for world domination continues and only the FOX GOD
knows what the future will hold.
