Update: Two additional Japan shows have been announced for January 2020.
BABYMETAL, the metal idol phenomenon from Japan, is about to release their third album “Metal Galaxy” on October 11th.
One month later, Su-metal, Moametal and the Kami Band will be on stage again in Japan for four stadium shows in the Tokyo area (Saitama) as well as in Kansai (Osaka).
Who knows, maybe those shows will be the ones recorded for their next Blu-ray/DVD release?
Tickets are on sale already, so make sure to check the details further below.

All tickets are issued as “vouchers” without seat number or block number printed on them. Your numbers will be disclosed once you exchange the voucher for the tickets at the entrance of the stadium. This system is the common procedure at Japanese Babymetal concerts and was introduced to prevent resale pricing based on seat/block numbers.
TICKET SALE
At this stage, you can still try your luck in the ticket lotteries on Lawson Tickets or the Amuse Mobile Club (until August 25th). To make an account on those sites, you need (at least) a working Japanese cell phone number.
If you don’t live in Japan, you might need help from a proxy service such as Tickets Galore Japan to purchase tickets through the lotteries, or later general sale.
General sale is yet to be announced at this point.
Tickets are currently also available online on the resale platforms Viagogo, which are accessible from overseas, too.
