Watch Babymetal Join Skrillex Onstage for Insane Live Collaboration
Tokyo's second-ever Ultra Music Festival happened over the weekend and just like its parent event in Miami, there were a slew of surprise guests. The best—and most unexpected—came during Skrillex's headlining set, which closed down the dance fest on Sunday. Babymetal came out and the J-pop/metal trio gave the DJ set a heavy punch of their hardcore-kawaii sound.
Watch fan-recored footage above as Skrillex teases the crowd saying he's "going to bring some friends out," before the chart-topping ladies hit the stage to perform a bit of their viral hit "Gimme Chocolate!!" Skrillex did his best to keep up with the girls, adding a few yells during their set, but Babymetal were the true stars here.
