Global pop-metal phenomenon BABYMETAL are celebrating Fox Day in style, announcing a massive North American tour for late summer and fall 2026. Joining them on the run are HALESTORM and VIOLENT VIRA.
The tour launches August 30 in San Diego and stretches across the U.S. and Canada through early October, hitting major amphitheaters and festivals along the way.
Tickets will be available through multiple presales starting April 6, with general on-sale beginning April 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
Alongside the tour news, BABYMETAL have also confirmed the release of Metal Forth (Deluxe Edition) on June 26 via Capitol Records. The expanded version will be available digitally and on vinyl, featuring exclusive live tracks and remixes, including reworks of “From Me To U.”
Originally released last year, Metal Forth made history with a Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200, becoming the first album by an all-Japanese fronted group to achieve that milestone, while racking up massive global streaming numbers.
