Babymetal Unveils Massive 2026 North American Tour with Halestorm, Violent Vira

Japan’s Babymetal is gearing up for their biggest-ever tour, bringing high-energy performances to arenas, stadiums, and festivals across North America this fall, followed by a Latin America leg later in the year.

Babymetal’s 2026 World Tour kicks off in North America with support from rock veterans Halestorm and the emerging alt-metal act Violent Vira. The tour spans a variety of major venues, including Ball Arena in Denver, Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, and Talking Stick Resort Amphitheater in Phoenix. Festival appearances include Louder Than Life in Louisville and Aftershock in Sacramento. An exciting highlight is their August 30 show at Petco Park in San Diego, where they will join My Chemical Romance.

Following these dates, Babymetal will perform in key Latin American cities such as São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, and Mexico City in late November and December. Their continued momentum is fueled by the release of the deluxe edition of “METAL FORTH” dropping June 26 via Capitol Records. The original album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 last year—the first top 10 for an all-Japanese-fronted group—and achieved 200 million global streams in its opening week.

Artist presales for the North American dates begin Monday, April 6 at 10 a.m. local time, with general onsale on Friday, April 10 at 10 a.m. Latin American artist presales start April 20, followed by general onsales on April 22. This highly anticipated tour is promoted by Live Nation, managed by 5B Artists + Media, and represented by CAA.
