BABYMETAL Announce 'METAL FORTH' Deluxe Edition, World Tour With Halestorm And Violent Vira

2025 was a whirlwind year for kawaii metal superstars BABYMETAL and the group is already setting out to make 2026 even bigger. They've just announced METAL FORTH (DELUXE EDITION), the expanded edition of their acclaimed 2025 album METAL FORTH. New tracks three live arena performances as well as remixes of their hit "From Me To U" by Major Lazer and Jordan Fish.

The deluxe edition arrives digitally and on vinyl June 26th. Pre-orders are available here.

In celebration of METAL FORTH (DELUXE EDITION), the group will set out on their biggest ever world tour. Throughout the month of June, the group will play a series of festivals and headlining shows across Europe and the UK. In August, they'll head back over to their homeland of Japan to play Lucky Fes '26 and curate the 25th Annual Summer Sonic Festival held simultaneously in Tokyo and Osaka. After that, they'll head across the Pacific to North and Latin America, starting with a one-off show supporting My Chemical Romance before hitting up another string of headliners and festival shows. Joining them as special guests in North and Latin America will be Grammy-winning hard rockers Halestorm and rising singer Violent Vira. BABYMETAL will finish out the year with a special stadium show in Mexico City featuring special guests I Prevail.
