BABYMETAL on Tour
They call it "kawaii" metal ("cute" metal in Japanese) and the concept is so ludicrous it could only have come from the bizarre, wonderful subculture factory that is Japan. BABYMETAL features two (formerly three) diminutive teen girls singing pop songs — in front of a band of middle-aged heavy metal musicians. It shouldn't work, but it really, really does. Singers Su-metal, Moametal and, originally, Yuimetal are so small that they sometimes stand on boxes onstage, dressed in matching dresses that are part baby-doll, part medieval fantasy. It is a surreal and amazing sight — but for all the novelty, these ladies are surprisingly commanding. Their music is a study in delightful contrasts, melding girlish pop with guitar heroics and satisfyingly heavy rock. The group took the world by storm on their first BABYMETAL World Tour in 2014, and they were impressive enough to be invited to open for Lady Gaga during her 2014 ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour. After their BABYMETAL World Tour 2016: Legend Metal Resistance, they were invited to support none other than Metallica the next year. In 2019, they undertook their first-ever U.S. headlining tour, supported by Swedish metal act Avatar.
BABYMETAL in Concert
Before joining the pre-fab band, BABYMETAL's singers had no idea what heavy metal even was. One singer, Yuimetal, admits she's never been in a mosh pit, and thinks she'd be "smashed to bits." Instead, singers Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal were all part of Sakura Gakuin, a group of junior high school girls chasing fame in Japan's lucrative "idol pop" industry. That industry is all about cultivating an image of innocence, but it can be hard to stand out; producer Kobametal originally imagined BABYMETAL as a subgroup of Sakura Gakuin that would distinguish the main group. But BABYMETAL quickly took on a life of their own, and in early 2014 the group released their first self-titled album to acclaim, climbing metal charts around the world thanks in no small part to the breakout single "Gimme Chocolate!" In 2016, the band released their second album, Metal Resistance and became the first Japanese group to headline Wembley Arena. Metalheads have embraced the group, who have been welcomed at major metal festivals. They even performed "Gimme Chocolate!" on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Yuimetal left the group in late 2018, but that hasn't slowed the band's momentum.
I’ve seen babymetal twice and it has been insane both times. Both were for the babyklok tour (aftershock and then the sf Masonic 4.24 date). I was absolutely blown away both times. If you’re thinking of seeing babymetal live, do it!
Babymetal was amazing! But they only played for 45 mins of what should've been more than an hour set while Deathklok played for more than an hour and I didn't love them. Wish I could've gotten more Babymetal!
We were there for DragonForce. They were only able to play four songs. The next band played forever, and each song sounded the same. We left out of boredom and never set eyes on Baby Metal. We never received the promised email with information about our Meet & Greet so almost missed it entirely. Really poor job, guys. Really poor.
Honestly this was my first concert and wow it was so amazing, their dancing and choreography was on point! I loved baby metal and hope to see them back in Sanfransisco if not I plan on seeing them in Japan!
The experience was amazing! Everything about it was a new experience from going to California to flighting out west. Towards the end of the concert I was exhausted from being up early in the morning est time but was soon as they came out I was wake and ecstatic. I’ve been a fan of BABYMETAL since I was young but wasn’t able to seen them until now. The performance from them was amazing and was electric from start to finish. While I can’t do this all the time I would definitely do it again
Best concert Babymetal took the show . Awesome metal group !!! Will Go again when they come back to the Bay Area
It was a fun experience. Really only came there for babymetal but dragonforce and dethklok was also super dope. Babymetal is super fun live. Balcony crowd was wack, but floor was having fun Forsure.
Baby Metal is a seriously fun show. Fantastic energy. Loud,in your face, music. Full crowd engagement with pits on the floor. Left me smiling the entire set. Highly recommend.
Babymetal are one of the three God tier bands from Japan that is worth seeing even if you have never seen them before in your life. The show was amazing except when it came to lighting. Would of love to see a bit more variety. The view spot i got for the show was awful since half the time I couldn't see what was going on other then that it was a great show nonetheless
Attending a BABYMETAL concert is nothing short of electrifying! From the moment the lights dimmed and the stage erupted in vibrant colors, the energy in the crowd was palpable. BABYMETAL delivered a high-octane performance that was as visually stunning as it was musically thrilling. The fusion of heavy metal and J-pop is truly unique, and the band's stage presence was captivating. The synchronization of their dance moves, combined with the powerful live band, created an atmosphere that had everyone on their feet, shouting, and singing along. Every song was a hit, and the transitions between the music and choreography were seamless. The energy never dipped, keeping the audience fully engaged from start to finish. The immersive experience of a BABYMETAL concert is like no other, with surprises at every turn and a sense of camaraderie among fans. Whether you're a metalhead or new to the genre, this concert was an unforgettable journey into a world where music, spectacle, and raw energy collide. If you have the chance to see BABYMETAL live, take it – you won't be disappointed!
