Get ready, the Metalverse is making its rounds in the western world.

Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal kicks off its most extensive North American tour this summer with 24 shows—including just one Florida stop, happening in Tampa.

The tour kicks off just over two years after the release of Babymetal’s fourth studio concept album, The Other One, which consists of 10 themed tracks that are tied with their own parallel world among the Metalverse.

The Tampa show hits four days after the trio’s release of its newest album, Metal Fourth.

Babymetal will be joined by rock bands Black Veil Brides and Bloodywood in Tampa.

Tickets to see Babymetal play Tampa’s Yuengling Center on Tuesday, June 17 are available now and start at $34.

Formed in 2010, Babymetal was originally a subset of the female Japanese group Sakura Gakuin, but became an independent band in 2013. The ever-evolving lineup currently consists of vocalists Nakamoto Suzuka (“Su-Metal”), Moa Kikuchi (“Moametal”) and Momoko Okazaki (“Momometal”).
