Kerrang! staff

This weekend, BABYMETAL made their grand return to the stage after more than a year away. Last seen at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan in April 2021, the dynamic duo kicked off their new era in emphatic fashion with two headline shows at Makuhari Messe Kokusai Tenjijou Hall 2-3 in Chiba, Japan.

With their long-awaited fourth full-length The Other One due for release March 24, BABYMETAL took the opportunity to debut five new tracks – from the opener METAL KINGDOM via Monochrome to closer THE LEGEND. Of course, there was still the old classics of Gimme Chocolate!! and Doki Doki ☆ Morning thrown in for good measure.

BABYMETAL hit the UK and Europe this April with Sabaton for The Tour To End All Tours. While it's unlikely they'll be able to cram in all 13 of these songs into their support set, here's a taster of what could be in store come the spring...
