BABYMETAL To Play First Ever UK Show At Sonisphere!
You can see them perform at Knebworth House this July
Japan’s prodigal daughters BABYMETAL have been added to this summer’s Sonisphere line-up.
Their first ever show on UK soil, the teenage trio will bring their divisive metal-meets-bubblegum-pop sounds to the Bohemia Tent on Sunday 6th July.
16-year-old singer SU-METAL (aka Suzuka Nakamoto) enthused: “I am so honoured that we are confirmed to play Sonisphere Festival UK.”
“There are so many different types of artists playing this festival but I hope to deliver a one and only, unique style metal - BABYMETAL - even to those who will see us for the very first time.
“This will be our very first time in the UK, which makes us nervous yet excited just imagining what type of people will come and see us, what sort of show it will end up being, and whether the audience will enjoy our show. She added: “We'll hopefully get to see Metallica-san's performance again after witnessing them at Summer Sonic festival in Japan which we are very excited about. Put your KITSUNE sing up!! See you!!”
The confirmation comes after their latest single ‘Gimme Chocolate!!’ wracked up 5million views in just over a month on YouTube. Check it out here:
