Download Festival has shared the Download TV schedule, set for next weekend, in replacement of the proper festival that was due to take place. BABYMETAL will be included on the Sunday Evening slot along with Disturbed, MOR, and headliners System Of A Down.
Download will be showing a bit of music sets, interviews, exclusive footage and more. Given the line up video, it appears they will show the footage from BABYMETAL’s 2018 set.
BABYMETAL just confirmed the cancellation of the 2nd leg of their European tour. This sadly means that for now, there are no planned shows for BABYMETAL this year (Knotfest Japan was already rescheduled to January 11th, 2021). On the bright side, there are some things to look forward to.
On May 10th at 11 PM (Japan Time) they will stream Wembley worldwide (except the UK, where they will show O2 Academy Arena 2014) on their YouTube channel. They will also re-release some Wembley merch, as well as some new merch, which they will sell during that day only on A!Smart.
YouTube Japan has organized the event with 49 Japanese artists who will participate with daily live videos (recorded). The whole event will last 8 days, from April 29th until May 6th.
It includes a Blu-ray and 2 audio CD’s with a compilation of shows from both venues, as well as a photobook and special packaging.
Last week I recorded 2 episodes on the BABYMETAL Podcast. Episode 33m my first, is out now, it’s about the Tokyo Dome streams, some fun things from Tokyo Dome itself, and the broadcast of LEGEND – METAL GALAXY.
