Fresh off the back of a sold out Wembley Arena show, the “metal phenomenon on a mission” BABYMETAL are confirmed for their first main stage appearance at the mighty Download Festival. Download takes place on 10-12 June 2016 in Donington Park. Tickets are on sale now.
With their exhilarating and irresistible live shows that merge thunderous modern metal with infectious J-pop, one of the most talked about current acts BABYMETAL are quickly gaining global critical acclaim with their mission statement: to bring metal to the world.
