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.

    They are so amazing! Went to the the youtube theater for their last show of their recent tour and it was amazing! They have a great set list but their onstage presence and interaction is amazing and makes this concert 100x fun and worth it. 10/10

    The greatest live band on the planet

    by Cobey on 10/20/23YouTube Theater - Inglewood

    I’ve seen Babymetal seven times now and every concert has been a peak experience. There is nothing like seeing this group live. The fans are amazing, the music is incredible, and their stage presence is unmatched. Can’t wait to see them again.

    Loved loved Babymetal

    by Tina on 10/19/23WAMU Theater - Seattle

    We were a multi-generational group. It was my grandson's very first concert. My son-in-law and I have seen Babymetal in concert three times now. We will be life-long fans of Babymetal. They have so much incredible energy and connect so well with the audience that there's no way you couldn't enjoy their show.

    Pretty decent, just a few more nitpicks

    by xharukix on 10/18/23YouTube Theater - Inglewood

    The concert was great, i had not been to a concert in a long while so it was refreshing to see another one. Its the first time I tried out a VIP package from them and for the most part it was ok. I was always used to the people in VIP to get a meet and greet or some sort of exclusive signed merch to pay for the vip premium but I did not see that. The merch booth was also lacking but I guess that was out of the venues control since it was the last stop on the tour. Overall I had a good time, I just felt that for what it was I felt it was lacking just a bit.

    Amazing night!

    by toxic025 on 10/18/23YouTube Theater - Inglewood

    the Show was great and the only down side was they didn't have the merch booth ready until they let us in for the show. Some had tickets for crowd free merch access but couldn't use that perk because they weren't ready.

    Best concert I've ever seen.

    by Andman1 on 10/17/23Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort - Las Vegas

    I've never listened to Jason Richardson before. But I thought he was very good. Dethklok was just playing brutal. I thought the animations behind the band during the show were awesome. Babymetal was phenomenal. I would definitely go see baby metal again. My only complaint was the show was too short. Other than that, it was great.
