Japanese metal band Babymetal bought performed a high octane debut set on the Lemmy Stage.

The band, who produce a unique sound through mixing J Pop with metal played through the rain and hail to please the big crowd that had gathered at Donnington's biggest stage.

Their set began with an intro video explaining the back story to the band and their backing band playing the song 'Babymetal Death'. The three girls then marched on stage to thunderous applause and cheering and launched straight into 'Gimme Chocolate!!' off their debut self titled album.

Throughout the set the girls perform meticulously choreographed dances to the heavy metal riffs performed by the guitarists behind them.

The crowd also did some dancing of their own, duly obliging when one of the girls asked the crowd to form two message circle pits in each section of the big crowd.

Despite being a very strange band, Babymetal certainly know how to please the crowd and have perfected their live performances to give their concert goers a good time while seeing them on stage.
