Bands will hit the road this summer into fall
Japanese metal band BabyMetal has announced a co-headlining tour with Dethklok, the on-screen heavy metal band and stars of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, and support from virtuoso guitarist Jason Richardson. BabyMetal’s first time back to the US since before the pandemic, the 29-date Live Nation-produced Babyklok Tour will kick off August 30th in Houston, TX, hitting Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and many more (full dates below) before wrapping October 11th at Los Angeles’ YouTube Theater. The tour will support their recent, first-ever concept album, The Other One.
Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale beginning today (Tues, Apr 11th) at noon ET. An artist presale will begin at 1 pm local time and include VIP package options for both artists. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, April 14th at 10 am local time.
Last year BabyMetal was “sealed” from the world after a successful 10-year journey. In April 2022, The Other One restoration project began to recover the BabyMetal we never knew existed within a virtual world called the Metalverse. A total of 10 songs were discovered within The Other One restoration project, with each song representing a unique theme based on 10 separate parallel worlds that they have discovered.
On the heels of the tour announcement comes the news of the long-awaited return of Adult Swim’s favorite heavy metal adventure, Metalocalypse. In addition to Dethklok hitting the road, a full-length original film, written and directed by Brendon Small, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, a companion soundtrack and Dethalbum IV will also arrive this year.
