Adding to what has been a mammoth year for Babymetal, the trio of SU- METAL, MOAMETAL and MOMOMETAL have confirmed an important first in the already storied career for the Japanese pop metal powerhouse. Taking cues from the band's epic pair of colossal performances at the Yokohama Arena in Japan, Babymetal will be leading their arena-sized spectacle for fans throughout Europe in 2025.

Communicating through the vessel of Babymetal, the FOX GOD has relayed the following communication, “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."
