Metal sensations BABYMETAL will return to Melbourne next March, joined by Indian metal behemoths, Bloodywood.

Most recently flexing their wares via their fifth studio album, METAL FORTH, BABYMETAL became the first all-Japanese act to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200. The album also features Bloodywood on “Kon! Kon!” among other collaborations. The group have spent the better part of 2025 on the road, performing at Knotfest in Australia, and headlining shows across Europe, the UK, and North and South America.

Renowned for their high-octane heaviness, infectious choreography, and dazzling yet blistering charisma, BABYMETAL have consistently captivated Australian audiences.
