BABYMETAL's London O2 Arena concert to be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW in July

It has been announced that the solo concert held by metal dance unit BABYMETAL, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary since its formation, at the O2 Arena in London, England on May 30th will be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW on July 21st. This is the first time that a Japanese group will hold a solo concert at the O2 Arena, which is famous as the venue where Paul McCartney, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin have performed.

Additionally, WOWOW has announced a three-month consecutive special featuring footage from last year's world tour, including the London performance, as well as music videos (MVs).

Formed in 2010, BABYMETAL gained worldwide popularity with their powerful vocals and energetic performances. Their 2024 release "RATATATA" reached No. 1 on the US Billboard charts in Hard Rock Digital Song Sales, and their world tour in the same year attracted approximately 1.01 million people in 51 performances.

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of their formation this year, the band embarked on the "UK & EUROPE ARENA TOUR" which began on May 10th in Brussels, Belgium, and visited 12 cities in 8 countries, with a live performance at the O2 Arena as the tour finale.

WOWOW will broadcast and stream the O2 Arena performance under the title "BABYMETAL UK & EUROPE ARENA TOUR 2025" from 9:00 p.m. on July 21st on WOWOW Prime and WOWOW On Demand.

Also, in August, they will broadcast and stream the performance held at the Okinawa Convention Center Exhibition Hall (Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture) on March 23rd and 24th, 2024, as the final show of BABYMETAL's world tour that visited 25 countries in 2023-24, titled "BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2023 - 2024 TOUR FINAL IN JAPAN LEGEND – 43."

In September, they will broadcast and stream "BABYMETAL Music Video Selection," a carefully selected collection of BABYMETAL's music videos.
