Babymetal is looking to make a huge comeback in 2019, and it kicks off with some big announcements.
The Japanese kawaii metal group will release a new single, "Elevator Girl" on May 10th. The group have already been performing the track live. You can see a sample here:

Additionally, the group have announced their largest Stateside show yet – a massive gig at Los Angeles' fabulous Forum on Friday, October 11th. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 26th at 10am local time.
Earlier this month, the group confirmed there will be a new album released this year:
