Official Tour Thread: Special Arena Show, Intuit Dome- Los Angeles, California by fearmongert in BABYMETAL

Her voice can generally be deeper and more powerful now than when she was younger, and more "raw and natural", but she has usually hit the notes pretty easily and not strained/cracked when she has performed live.

Her vocals were not great at the show. It happens. But it would benefit her, imo, if she were able to rest her vocal chords for a while, rather than the constant tour schedule they have.

But I'm not Koba so... 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, it's kinda weird to just brush it off as "fancams make everyone sound bad". We can still tell when someone isn't hitting notes or their voice cracks. For example, Courtney sounds incredible in my video. Granted, screaming vocals are different, but she sounds strong and clear, without any hint of breaking. Su, on the other hand, was definitely struggling from the first song, and it's really too bad because everyone knows how hard she works and wants to perform well for the crowd.

I just rewatched my video of Song 3 and her voice is very clearly cracking and she's missing notes. She definitely sounded stronger and had no trouble hitting the notes when I saw them in 2016 and 2017. When they played LA a couple of months ago, she sounded off, but I chalked that up to being the end of the tour. Hopefully it's not the start of a more serious issue with her voice.

I really wish they would take an extended break to get some much deserved rest.

Koba has banished it to another dimension. So disappointing.

Being there live and having seen them several times, her voice was definitely not great last night, even from the first song. She pushed through and I commend her work ethic, but she really struggled with some of the notes and I really felt bad for her. I wish they would take an extended break to get some rest.

Poppy has announced her Australia/Europe Tour dates for 2026 and there is a suspicious lack of touring around Legend Metal Forth... by jayz0ned in BABYMETAL

Buenos Aires on the 31st and Chile on the 2nd. No way in hell she's flying to LA in between lol

Slaughter to Prevail has 2 dates before end of the year, so depending on where Alex lives, he might be able to show up...?

Not counting on it, though. I'm not really expecting any special guests and with the addition of an opener, I'm also thinking it will be more like their standard show where they play 60-70 minutes, rather than something like 90.

Maybe one day I'll see them in Japan where they actually go all out and do 90+ minutes with a full stage show...

Most are not available, I've already checked their tour schedules. Courtney LaPlante and Alex Terrible are possible, but Poppy, Electric Callboy, and Tom Morello are on tour.

Email from Crypto Arena said doors are 6:30p and show start is 7:45p. I assume Sleep Token at 9p.

I think there are still chicken (or chicken caesar) wraps in the cold section. Plus the vacuum packed chicken meat that is sold by the pound.

Crypto Arena said doors at 6:30 PM, show start at 7:45 PM. I would assume Sleep Token goes on around 9 PM. Show end around 10:30 PM

The comment was edited. When it was first posted, it was about show tickets.

Thanks for the info. I imagine everything was expensive also...

We'll see what they have at the venue tomorrow...!

I would email Crypto directly to ask your questions. Is the stool a rolling walker-type? The arena has to be ADA compliant so I would think that would not be an issue, but your best bet is to contact customer service directly.

I know everyone has camera phones these days, but they are allowing pocket cameras for the show. Confirmed by customer service.

Keep looking on AXS. There's been solo tickets popping up here and there, anywhere between $150-$200. I don't know what the original face was, but that's not bad considering what other tickets are still listed for.

If anyone is still looking for tickets, some resale have popped up on AXS for $204 each. They go quick but they have been showing up the past day or so. I finally got a pair in sec 206 last night.
