The power of METAL FORTH forges ahead.

Kawaii metal titans BABYMETAL have announced plans to touch down in Australia for a run of headlining dates in the region for 2026. The announcement follows a monumental year for the unit,  having performed at Knotfest Australia back in February and March earlier this year, the band would go unto headline in Europe, the UK, North America, and most recently presided over sold out arena shows in both Los Angeles and Mexico. 

Now, the collective is set to embark on an Australian headlining tour set for March of 2026. The run will be in support of their landmark LP, METAL FORTH, an effort making BABYMETAL the first all-Japanese act to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200. The release also proved significant, with the trio becoming the first female Japanese artist to sign a frontline deal with Capitol Records. 

Set to join BABYMETAL on the March run of shows in five pivotal Australian markets, fellow innovators and collaborators Bloodywood will serve as special guests. The tandem have captured lighting in a bottle with collab tracks like "Kon Kon!" - a massive hit for both bands and an indication of each unit's live power and potency. 

The Australian tour begins March 12th in Perth and touches down in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and closes out on march 22nd in Brisbane. Pre-sale tickets will be on sale starting November 11th at 9am local time - HERE
