About the show
100% Metal Presents: BABYMETAL
THE PHENOMENAL NAME OF METAL IS AT LIFEPARK ISTANBUL ON JULY 1ST!
Japanese metal phenomenon BABYMETAL will be performing at Lifepark Istanbul on Wednesday, July 1st, 2026, organized by Neo Events. Combining the power of metal with high-energy choreography and flawless stage production, the band promises an epic night in Istanbul.
Born in Japan, BABYMETAL shattered all clichés by blending the energy of J-pop with metal riffs. The band consists of SU-METAL on vocals, MOAMETAL with their "scream & dance" interpretation, and MOMOMETAL. Their journey, which began with their self-titled album Babymetal (2014), turned into a global explosion with "Gimme Chocolate!!". That same year, they broke the record for "the youngest band to fill Budokan Arena" by filling the venue to capacity. In 2016, they became the first Japanese metal band to sell out Wembley Arena.
After making history in the UK with their headline performance at Wembley Arena, dominating Glastonbury, and solidifying their global breakthrough with their first US arena concert at The Forum in Los Angeles, the band reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 with their album METAL GALAXY and broke records by becoming the first Asian artist to reach number 1 on the Top Rock Albums chart. Their 10-concert series at Budokan in 2021 and the concept album THE OTHER ONE, released in 2023, further expanded their stage vision; they broadened their global audience with the support of the Sabaton tour in Europe and leg tours in Asia and Australia.
Babymetal's success isn't just about music; it lies in building a cultural bridge. The electronic-dance fusion "RATATATA" with Electric Callboy, and the power metal energy they bring together on stage with the DragonForce guitarists…
Each of these reinforces Babymetal's "boundless" identity. Mark your calendars to see BABYMETAL live in the natural atmosphere of Lifepark, with a massive production and a high-octane setlist. Doors open at 5 PM. The opening act (name to be announced later) will be on stage at 7 PM, followed by the BABYMETAL concert at 9 PM.
This isn't just a concert; it's the continuation of a dream that spread from the birthplace of a phenomenon to the world, and that dream will begin again on the night of July 1st at Lifepark.
