BABYMETAL and Dethklok Back Together in America for Two Nights Only (San Francisco, CA)

Here I was, up late in Japan, and I saw something curious.  

A friend had posted a BABYMETAL/DethKlok show in San Francisco.  I hadn't heard anything about a stop in San Francisco.  Granted, BABYMETAL was going to perform at a festival in Las Vegas, but nothing else.  Dethklok would be on tour but skipping San Francisco (sadly a common thing for tours nowadays). The Babyklok tour had officially ended last year.  So what was this?  

I scrambled to find anything about it and came up empty.  No press releases, no announcements, nothing.  

Suddenly I saw a Twitter post from the BABYMETAL account.  Another from the Dethklok account.  I think that's official enough.  Tickets went on sale just a few minutes after the posts. 

There will be two shows at The Masonic in San Francisco. Both BABYMETAL and Dethklok will perform, with Dragonforce and Nekrogoblikon performing one each on the two days (the former on 4/24 and the latter on 4/25).  I'm wondering if the Kami band will come out from Japan or if they'll be using locals again. 

As mentioned, BABYMETAL will perform at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, NV on 4/27.

Dethklok will be on tour with Dragonforce and Nekrogoblikon. 

For those in the Bay Area, take this shot. You might be waiting for a while if you don't.
