Japanese metal phenomenon BABYMETAL have announced a summer and fall 2026 North American tour alongside HALESTORM and VIOLENT VIRA. The run will bring the group's signature theatrical metal spectacle to venues across the US and Canada, with a full schedule of dates to be confirmed.
The announcement coincides with news that Metal Forth (Deluxe Edition) will be released via Capitol Records on June 26, 2026 — an expanded version of the group's 2025 studio album featuring additional content.
BABYMETAL — Su-METAL and Moametal, performing under the creative direction of the Kami Band — have established themselves as one of the most distinctive and boundary-pushing acts in contemporary heavy music. Their fusion of J-pop melody with crushing metal production has won legions of devoted fans worldwide and broken barriers between metal and mainstream audiences.
This North American outing pairs BABYMETAL with HALESTORM's Lzzy Hale — one of hard rock's most formidable frontpeople — making for a bill that bridges classic rock energy with metal's cutting edge.
