A dazzling global force to be reckoned with, in 2026 Metal sensations 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 are set to tour Australian arenas next March joined by Indian metal behemoths 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃.
Hailing from Tokyo, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋'𝐒 origin story stems back to 2010, with the group forging their own unique sonic sound via heavy metal and Japanese idol cues. Swiftly evolving into a global sensation that has embraced genre-defiance, five studio albums, countless award wins, millions of global followers, tours around the world, chart success and collaborations with the likes of Tom Morello, Electric Callboy, Spiritbox and countless others, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 continue to reinvent themselves and what it means to be a heavy band in the 21s century; a fact robustly on display with each new performance and release.
Most recently flexing their wares via their 2025 fifth studio album 𝑀𝐸𝑇𝐴𝐿 𝐹𝑂𝑅𝑇𝐻, which saw the group become the first all-Japanese act to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 and also contained a feature from 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 on 𝐾𝑜𝑛! 𝐾𝑜𝑛! amongst other collabs, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 have also spent the better part of 2025 on the road, from performing in Australia at Knotfest in February and March, through to headlining in Europe, the UK, North America, and, earlier this week, ticking off a special arena show in Mexico.
Closer to home, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 made their first ever Australian live performance in 2018 at Good Things Festival, before returning in 2023 for their debut headline run, and enamouring once again earlier this year in a festival setting as part of Knotfest Australia. Renowned for their high-octane heaviness, infectious choreography and dazzling-yet-blistering charisma, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋's earlier Aussie performances have relentlessly captivated crowds, with 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎 dubbing their Brisbane headline show earlier this year "𝑎 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑙𝑦 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟", while 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎 enthused of the band's debut 2023 headline shows that "𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠, 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑟𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠. 𝑊𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝐵𝐴𝐵𝑌𝑀𝐸𝑇𝐴𝐿, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑢𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒."
Balancing guttural metal, Indian folk elements, hip hop hues and lyricism that span humour, culture and social issues, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 are a band like no other. An act who have proudly flown the flag for Indian metal increasingly on a global scale since first forming in 2016, becoming India's first metal act to chart on Billboard, the group initially gained traction via uploading YouTube cover songs before harnessing their signature sound, and ultimately beginning their journey towards world domination. Releasing a new album 𝑁𝑢 𝐷𝑒𝑙ℎ𝑖 earlier this year, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 gifted a searing love letter to Nu Delhi and its thriving music scene, with the album also boasting a memorable collab with 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋 on the track 𝐵𝑒𝑘ℎ𝑎𝑢𝑓. With inescapably charismatic songs sung in Hindi, Punjabi and English, sold-out tours and performances at the likes of Hellfest and Download Festival, 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 's long-awaited journey to Australia in 2026 will be the stuff heavy music dreams are made of.
