Formed in Japan in 2010, BABYMETAL have grown from the seeds sown by band overseer KOBAMETAL and evolved steadily into one of the most powerful musical phenomena in the world today. Backed and supported by some of the finest metal musicians their native land has to offer, SUMETAL, YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL began their mission to unify the world through Heavy Metal. BABYMETAL’s success in their native country Japan led to Top 10 singles in the Oricon chart in Japan, performances at several major festivals in Japan, including Summer Sonic 2013 and two consecutive sold out nights at Tokyo’s legendary Budokan venue in March 2014, in front of 20,000 people. Eventually, BABYMETAL’s reputation had crossed the globe and was beginning to make waves in Europe and America too. With video clips with over 25 million views, the band became a sudden and huge internet phenomenon, leaving pop and metal fans around the world in no doubt about the magic and might of this new musical force. BABYMETAL made their first world tour, traversing continents to perform at the celebrated Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England (and won over a vast fi eld of 65,000 diehard metalheads in the process), were invited by pop icon Lady Gaga to support her on her prestigious ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour in the US, and played various sold out shows throughout Europe and in New York. “LIVE IN LONDON: Babymetal World Tour 2014“showcase four live performances extraordinaire. In March 2014, BABYMETAL performed in front of 20,000 people at legendary Budokan venue – setting a record for being the youngest female fronted band to ever sell out Nippon Budokan on two consecutive nights. Both shows are arranged with a crystal clear sound thanks to the mastering by acclaimed studio guru and multiple Grammy winner Ted Jensen of Sterling Sound. Following directly from the band’s first triumph in the UK – a performance at the celebrated Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England, where the likes of Led Zeppelin, Queen and Deep Purple had famously performed decades earlier, and winning over a vast fi eld of 65,000 diehard metalheads in the process, BABYMETAL’s planned debut London headlining show was quickly upgraded from its original venue to the much bigger Forum in North London and sold out in a matter of hours. They returned to the UK for another sold out show in November, this time at the universally acclaimed Brixton Academy in London, performing one brand new song as an encore.
