Fans of the legendary BABYMETAL rejoice! Iconic Events Releasing and Anime Expo Cinema Nights are bringing the band’s “BABYMETAL Legend 43 – The Movie” to theaters across North America this December 11, 2024.
BABYMETAL Legend 43 – The Movie is a Live Viewing Japan production that focuses on the Okinawa performance of the band’s “BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2023”, which ran from 2023 to 2024. The massive tour consisted of 98 shows and 25 countries which had the band headline stadiums, play festivals, and tour alongside groups like Sabaton, Dethklok, and Bring Me The Horizon. It also saw BABYMETAL play to a cumulative audience of 280,000.
The Okinawan performance, titled “TOUR FINAL IN JAPAN LEGEND – 43” was filmed in full and promises to allow viewers to experience one of BABYMETAL’s most iconic performances. Tickets for the theatrical screening are already on sale.
So, if you’re not a fan of BABYMETAL, now’s the chance to witness one of the most unique bands in the genre. If you’re adamant about being an elitist who says BABYMETAL isn’t “metal enough,” remember that they have the Metal God, Rob Halford’s approval. And in the metal world, that’s the highest level of validation.
