Babymetal BIO
Babymetal blends heavy metal with J-pop, theatrical choreography, and tightly arranged live production. Formed in Japan, the group built an international following with a distinctive sound that moves between melodic pop hooks and forceful guitar-driven metal. Songs including “Gimme Chocolate!!,” “PA PA YA!!,” and “Megitsune,” alongside albums such as Metal Galaxy, have helped introduce the band to audiences across genres.

Babymetal Tempe reviews
One of the best music acts around
"The talented women of Babymetal portray different feelings with their soaring voices despite their young age. They write music that seems eternal and have great guitar skills. Lots of love for this duo! Their fabulous cover of Heart's Crazy on You was even better. The concert sold out and the venue was good. Opening act Van Williams did not catch, but he came out for one song during the encore and seemed great. At the start of the concert, the reverberated bass sound too much but the sound techs fixed it straight away. The whole thing was very enjoyable. Would definitely see them again!"
