Babymetal have announced a co-headline 2023 trek with Dethklok, aka the on-screen heavy metal band and stars of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse.
The bands will head off across the US on the Babyklok tour starting from August 30 in Houston, Texas. They'll make stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas and many more cities before signing off on October 11 in Los Angeles.
The Babyklock tour will serve as the first time the kawaii metallers have performed in the US since before the pandemic, and will see them deliver songs from their recently-released new album The Other One.
Tickets will become available first via a presale through CITI (the official club card of the Babyklok tour) starting from today (April 11) at 12:00 PM ET.
Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale that commences on April 14 at 10:00 AM local time.
In October, Babymetal will take to the stage at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, alongside headliners Guns N' Roses, Tool, Avenged Sevenfold and Korn. The event is set to take place at Discovery Park from October 5 until October 8.

Earlier this month, Babymetal welcomed their third new member, Momometal, real name Momoko Okazaki.
The Japanese band announced their new addition on April 1 (AKA 'Fox Day'), during a show at the Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, Japan. Okazaki has served as one of Babymetal’s three backing dancers, known as the Avengers, since 2019.
Fans may also recognise Okazaki from Girls Planet 999, a South Korean reality tv show which she appeared on in 2021, although was shortly booted off in the show’s first elimination round.
