WHO: Babymetal with Halestorm and Violent Vira

WHEN: Monday, Sept 21 @ 7:20

WHERE: Hollywood Casino Amphitheater St. Louis

TICKETS: Available HERE

Popular J-Metal group Babymetal is making their way back to St. Louis on Monday with a headlining show at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by going to the Live Nation site HERE.

They will be joined by veteran rockers Halestorm and newcomer Violent Vira.

Babymetal is touring in support of their latest album METAL FORTH, which made its debut last year at #9 on the Billboard 200, marking the band’s first-ever U.S. Top 10 album. This is the first time in history that an all-Japanese fronted group has made this list. The project amassed over 200 million global streams and sold 36,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

METAL FORTH also debuted at #10 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut U.S. Chart and #2 on the U.S. iTunes Download Album Chart. In Japan, the album entered at #1 on the Oricon Rock Chart, #1 on the Digital Albums Chart, and #3 on the overall Oricon chart. Internationally, the album landed Top 10 in Germany, a career-best after charting at #24 with THE OTHER ONE and #18 with METAL GALAXY. It also broke the Top 20 in the UK and achieved career-high positions in the Netherlands and France.

Formed in 2010, BABYMETAL quickly gained popularity in Japan for their explosive live shows. By 2013, they had become a force of their own — opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, and Lady Gaga, and bringing the ferocity of metal to a global audience. With over 15 years of history and a diehard international following, BABYMETAL isn’t just a band — they’re a movement redefining what heavy music looks and sounds like. Fronted by three dynamic women — SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL — BABYMETAL has helped reshape the face of metal, inspiring a new generation of women and girls who see themselves in this sound and on these stages.

St. Louis fans are no strangers to Halestrom. The veteran rockers have made regular stops in the Gateway City and are sure to put on a spectacular support show.
