BABYMETAL was formed in 2010.
In March 2014, they took the stage at Nippon Budokan for a 2-day gig, making them the youngest
female act to perform there. Their 1st studio album BABYMETAL instantly made it to the
US Billboard charts. In summer of the same year, they
embarked on their first world tour, performing on the main stage at UK’s prodigious festival
Sonisphere Festival 2014 in front of 65,000 festival goers and supporting Lady Gaga on
her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball 2014 Tour.
In summer of 2015, BABYMETAL received various awards from prominent UK music magazines
KERRANG! and METAL HAMMER and became the first Japanese artist to ever receive these awards.

BABYMETAL had a simultaneous global release for their 2nd album METAL RESISTANCE.
Not only did they make the charts in Japan, they also became the highest-charting Japanese
band ever on UK’s Official Albums Chart, landing at No. 15th. They also reached the 39th
spot on its debut on the U.S. Billboard, becoming the first album by a Japanese artist to break
into the chart’s top 40 in more than 53 years. During that same month, BABYMETAL performed
at the prestigious Wembley Arena in the UK, becoming the first Japanese artist to ever headline
at the venue. They completed their world tour in September at the Tokyo Dome for a consecutive
2 days with over 110,000 people to witness the massive tour final. Not only have they achieved
all of the above, they have performed as special guests in various international locations for the
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, METALLICA, GUNS N’ ROSES, and KORN.
In 2019, BABYMETAL’s headline show at Yokohama Arena in Japan marked the new beginning of
their departure. Literally right after completing their 2-day arena show, BABYMETAL flew to the
UK to perform at one of the world’s largest music festivals, Glastonbury Festival, and their
appearance at this festival made headlines around the world. That same year in September,
BABYMETAL embarked on their METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR; their first leg of the tour
was in the U.S. followed by their dates in Europe.
On October 11th, BABYMETAL had their worldwide release of their 3rd album METAL GALAXY
and on that same day, they had their first U.S. headlining arena show at The Forum in Los Angeles,
California.
“METAL GALAXY” ranked No.13 on the US Billboard Top 200 (Albums Chart), largely surpassing
their own record of their previous album, and ranked No.1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart for the
first time ever as an Asian artist. In the UK Official Charts, the album consecutively ranked in the
Official Albums Chart Top 20 from their previous album and ranked No.1 on the Rock & Metal Albums
Chart for the first time in history as a Japanese artist.
After completing their longest tour ever consisting of 20 shows in the U.S., BABYMETAL
returned to Japan to perform a total of 4 days and had BRING ME THE HORIZON as their guest act.
The 4-day performance titled METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN was held on
November 16th - 17th in Saitama and November 20th - 21st in Osaka,
BABYMETAL’s first performance of 2020 took place on January 25th - 26th at Makuhari Messe in
Japan. The two performances were added as extra shows to the Japanese leg of
METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR. Over the course of 2 days, BABYMETAL performed songs out
of their 3rd album METAL GALAXY and each show consisted of different setlists, requiring fans to
visit both dates in order to get the full experience.
In February 2020, BABYMETAL had their full European headline run consisting of
17 dates in 11 countries. BABYMETAL’s challenge for world domination continues and
only the FOX GOD knows what the future will hold.
Metal Galaxy is the third studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. It was first released in Japan on October 8, 2019, with an international release following on October 11, 2019. The album was released through BMD Fox Records in Japan, in Europe under earMusic, and elsewhere under Babymetal Records. Produced by the band's manager Kobametal, the record is a concept album of an "odyssey to the Metal Galaxy", and thus contains elements of music from various parts of the world. It is also their first release to not feature founding member Yuimetal, as well as the first to contain guest performances by various artists. The band began a world tour in support of the album in September 2019!
Metal Galaxy received generally positive reviews from music critics, and managed to peak at number three on the Oricon Weekly Chart with first-week sales of 73,096 units. In the United States, the album debuted at number thirteen on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest-charting Japanese-language album in the chart's history.
