Babymetal have been confirmed as Metallica’s support in Seoul, South Korea, early next year.

Both bands will play the city’s Gocheok Sky Dome on January 11. The stadium in home to Seoul’s baseball team, the Nexen Heroes.

The Japanese trio are currently on the road across the UK with Red Hot Chili Peppers and will also support Guns N’ Roses in their homeland in March.

Su-Metal says: “We’ve looked up to Metallica for so long and to be able to join them on their tour is a dream come true.

“It will be our first performance for 2017 so we are really looking forward to receiving a lot of good energy from them to kick off the new year.”

Yuimetal adds: “I am just so thrilled at the amazing recent news of being able to join such big bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses – and now Metallica. I just can’t keep up!

“Metallica is such an important part of what Babymetal does. I feel that we were able to make it this far all thanks to Metallica. It’s still so unbelievable to be able to play with them and I’m incredibly happy. Very excited for 2017!”

Babymetal are about to launch Live At Wembley. It’s out on December 30 and was recorded at the London venue earlier this year.

They released their second album Metal Resistance in March.

Is it just me who thinks Babymetal are the Justin Bieber of metal/rock? What will this tour do for Metallica's credibility?

As if Metallica gives a **** who thinks they have credibility. lol Nor should they.
I don't mind Babymetal tbh and people don't have to like them but need to just ignore them then.

Hope they support them on the US tour as well. I mean, I don't really like them, but I've only heard a song or two. I like to see a big name as an opening act, gives me a chance to really give the act a chance.

I think, if nothing else, their shtick is funny. As opposed to most popular metal bands these days which are just some -core stuff I'm not into.

I'd probably like seeing Babymetal as much as I would like seeing Metallica. They are actually something different and they have a cool stageshow.
