BABYMETAL to Kick Off North American Tour Sept. 9 at PNC Bank Arts Center
The band's METAL FORTH became the first album by an all-Japanese fronted group to reach the Billboard 200.
BABYMETAL is set to kick off a North American tour on September 9 at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. The tour follows the release of METAL FORTH (Deluxe Edition) and will feature songs from the band's first-ever U.S. Top 10 album. METAL FORTH made history last year as the first album by an all-Japanese fronted group to reach the Billboard 200, debuting at number nine. The project has drawn more than 200 million global streams and sold 36,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
Meaning 'beyond metal,' METAL FORTH is a bold and boundary-pushing album that reimagines the future of the genre, serving as a fearless leap into its evolution. Top streamed tracks off the record include 'My Queen' (feat. Spiritbox), 'Kon! Kon!' (feat. Bloodywood) 'RATATATA' (with Electric Callboy), 'from me to u' (feat. Poppy), and 'Song 3' (with Slaughter To Prevail).
