BABYMETAL have marked Fox Day 2026 with a pair of major announcements: a sweeping North American world tour and a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed album 'Metal Forth'. The tour kicks off August 30 in San Diego and runs through October 3, spanning over 20 dates across the US, Canada, and Latin America, with HALESTORM and VIOLENT VIRA providing support on North American dates.
The run includes festival appearances at Louder Than Life in Louisville (September 19) and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento (October 3), alongside arena and amphitheatre headline dates in major cities including Chicago, Toronto, Dallas, Phoenix, and New York. Latin American dates will follow, with presales launching April 20.
'Metal Forth' made history upon its original release, debuting at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 — making BABYMETAL the first act with an all-Japanese frontline to crack the US Top 10. The deluxe edition, due June 26 via Capitol Records, adds three live performances from the album and two remixes, from Major Lazer and Jordan Fish, pressed on vinyl with a striking zoetrope design that animates ten of the record's iconic visual motifs.
Artist presale for the North American tour begins April 6 at 10 a.m. local time; general on-sale follows April 10.
