Babyklok 2023 Tour Dates feat. Dethklok and Babymetal

The long-awaited return of Adult Swim’s favorite heavy metal adventure Metalocalypse arrives with a nationwide tour of the series’ on-screen band, Dethklok. A full-length original film, written and directed by Brendon Small, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, a companion soundtrack, and Dethalbum IV will also arrive this year. Dethklok will kick off their twenty-nine date national tour on August 30 with Japanese kawaii metal pioneers Babymetal as co-headliners, and virtuoso guitarist Jason Richardson as support.

“It’s very surreal having so much new Metalocalypse & Dethklok this year with the trifecta of the tour, movie, and album,” said Small. “I’m so excited to get on the road with the powerful Babymetal, and to celebrate all the hard work that team Metalocalypse & Dethklok put in over the last two years and beyond!”

The “Babyklok” tour will also include appearances at Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Alton, VA on Sep 10, Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on Sep 23, and Aftershock in Sacramento, CA on Oct 7.

The all-new animated movie begins after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth; Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin, all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge to save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?

As a special highlight, fans can also anticipate the release of two full-length albums this year. WaterTower Music will release both the film soundtrack, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) as well as Dethalbum IV around the launch of the film. Meanwhile, fans can summon Dethklok by streaming the Metalocalypse: Dethklok Complete Collection playlists here

About Babymetal:
Last year, Babymetal was “sealed” from the world after a successful 10-year journey. In April 2022, The Other One restoration project began to recover the Babymetal we never knew existed within a virtual world called the Metalverse. A total of 10 songs were discovered within The Other One restoration project, with each song representing a unique theme based on 10 separate parallel worlds that they have discovered.
