Introduction

As BABYMETAL gears up for their 2025 U.S. tour, fans across North America are doing more than just buying tickets—they’re organizing cosplay meetups, planning group travel, designing custom merchandise, and reigniting fan club chapters that had gone quiet since the last major tour. This article dives into the heart of BABYMETAL’s U.S. fandom and how it’s preparing for the Fox God’s return to American soil.

U.S. Fan Communities Reignited: New York to San Francisco

After several quiet years due to the pandemic and limited tour schedules, BABYMETAL fan communities across the U.S. have reignited with full force. Online forums and local Facebook groups are buzzing again, Discord servers are hosting nightly countdowns, and city-based fan clubs are organizing physical meetups in anticipation of the tour.

New York City

The NYC Kitsunes are preparing for a massive gathering at the Terminal 5 venue. Plans include coordinated glowstick choreography, group cosplay parades near Times Square, and even a fan-created zine distribution during show night.

Los Angeles

LA’s BABYMETAL Circle is teaming up with local anime conventions and vinyl shops to host pre-concert events, karaoke battles, and a cosplay showcase. Influencers in the J-rock and J-fashion space are expected to livestream on-site.

San Francisco

Bay Area fans have organized an all-day fan fair before the show at The Masonic. The event includes art booths, trading card giveaways, fan film screenings, and a charity auction benefitting Japanese-American cultural centers.

Across the country, fan energy is high. Some fans are even flying between multiple stops—treating the tour like a pilgrimage. Many groups are coordinating group buys for VIP passes and merch bundles to share shipping costs and gain early access together.

Cosplay, Culture & Fox God Fashion at U.S. Tour Stops

The 2025 BABYMETAL tour is inspiring fans across America to take their passion to the next level through fashion and performance. From full-fledged cosplay to Fox God-inspired streetwear, fans are transforming concert venues into visual spectacles of creative devotion.

Cosplay Contests and Meetups

Cosplay competitions are scheduled at pre-show events in cities like Dallas, Seattle, and Chicago. Local fan groups are partnering with J-culture retailers and con organizers to provide prizes, judges, and safe spaces for cosplayers to prepare. Most meetups are open to all ages and welcome DIY costumes and casual wear alike.

Inclusivity and Cultural Appreciation

Many fans are also taking time to learn about BABYMETAL’s lore and Japanese culture to ensure their outfits are respectful as well as creative. From re-creating Kami Band corpse-paint looks to reinterpreting stage aesthetics through K-pop fashion influence, the style spectrum is wide and inclusive.

Whether you’re in full armor or simply wearing a Fox God tee, U.S. tour stops will be filled with passionate, expressive fans united through costume and culture.
