GALLERY: Babymetal at The Forum, London

Fresh off playing their first ever UK show at Sonisphere, Babymetal rolled into a sold-out Forum in Kentish Town, London and we went along to see just how bonkers their show is...

And what are the Babymetal fans like? Well here’s our view from the queue. Some of these guys had been there since 6am.

Luke Morton joined Metal Hammer as Online Editor in 2014, having previously worked as News Editor at popular (but now sadly defunct) alternative lifestyle magazine, Front. As well as helming the Metal Hammer website for the four years that followed, Luke also helped relaunch the Metal Hammer podcast in early 2018, producing, scripting and presenting the relaunched show during its early days. He also wrote regular features for the magazine, including a 2018 cover feature for his very favourite band in the world, Slipknot, discussing their turbulent 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone.
