BABYMETAL drops details on the Japanese band’s WORLD TOUR 2026. The kawaii metal unit is globe-hopping once again this year. See below for dates and cities across the UK, Europe, North America, and Latin America from June to December.
This year is a great chance to catch this infectious sensation live. BABYMETAL will be visiting new locations, such as São Paulo and Buenos Aires, as well as returning to major cities like New York, Dallas, and Chicago. Plus, they’ll be making the rounds at major festivals in America like Louder Than Life and Aftershock. Even more in Europe, as they will be at Sweden Rock Festival, Download Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, and others.
More information of the WORLD TOUR 2026 can be found on BABYMETAL’s official tour page. Notably, their first stop in America will be in San Diego, CA, where they will be opening for My Chemical Romance. With the exception of the North American festivals, BABYMETAL will be supported by Halestorm and VIOLENT VIRA. That’s quite a lineup with Halestorm, an American hard rock band, and Violent Vira, a Mexican-American female metal artist.
As BABYMETAL tours with these notable bands, will we get any new collaboration songs, like last year’s Kon! Kon! when they were supported by BLOODYWOOD? Whatever the case, this year is heating up with awesome bands from the Far East coming to the West!
