In the latest issue of Metal Hammer magazine, Japaense kawaii metal superstars Babymetal respond to reader questions about their careers so far, their love of metal and much more. One question invites all three members of the band to build their dream 'Babymetal festival' lineup, and the trio have some interesting answers ready.
“I have a dream of holding a festival that brings together female vocalists such as those in Evanescence, Nightwish and Arch Enemy," says Su-metal. Moametal, meanwhile, goes down a different route: “Metallica!" she answers. "They are on a world tour, so I’d like to invite them to Japan and welcome them with our omotenashi – Japanese hospitality. I’d also love to meet Rob Halford again, so Judas Priest. I want to invite Red Hot Chili Peppers, going across genres, and I want to meet Dragonforce for the first time in a while! I definitely want Bring Me The Horizon, who invited us to their festival too.” Newest Babymetal vocalist Momometal, who officially joined the band as a full-time member last year, has three particular artists in mind: “Yungblud, Willow Smith and [Japanese girl-group] Atarashii Gakko!”
