Japanese 'kawaii metal' band Babymetal is set to bring its unique brand of J-pop and metal rock to Malaysia on March 27, at KL Live, Kuala Lumpur.

The Babymetal Live In KL show will be the second stop of the Asian leg of band's Metal Galaxy tour, which will also be hitting Bangkok, Jakarta and Taipei.

The band consists of Suzuka Nakamoto (also known as 'Su-metal') and Moa Kikuchi ('Moametal'), who provide the vocals (and screaming), backed by the 'Kami Band' of session heavy metal musicians. Originally a trio, Babymetal took the world by storm 2013, with its eponymous debut album in 2014, which introduced the world to its unique combination of 'kawaii' (Japanese for cute) and heavy metal. Second album Metal Resistance, released in 2016, was a solid international hit, and contained hits such as Karate and Gimme Chocolate!.

Despite the departure of original member Yui Mizuno ('Yuimetal') in Oct 2018, the band continued on as a duo, even playing at last year's Glastonbury Festival in Britain. It recently released its third album (and first as a duo), Metal Galaxy in October.

Tickets are now on sale at Galactix. Early bird tickets are going for RM158, while the normal ticket prices cost RM178 and RM208.
