Babymetal at The Fillmore Silver Spring
Babymetal brings its genre-blending mix of J-pop and heavy metal to The Fillmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland. The event listing gives May 10, 2016 as the date and names Halestorm and Violent Vira in the lineup. Check the event details before making plans, as the supplied listing also contains a conflicting 2026 date.
Formed in Japan, Babymetal developed a distinctive sound that pairs high-energy metal instrumentation with pop melodies and choreographed performance. The group's internationally recognized songs include “Gimme Chocolate!!” and “KARATE,” helping introduce its theatrical, cross-genre approach to audiences around the world. At this Silver Spring concert, the Fillmore's intimate scale offers a markedly different setting from a large arena show.
The supplied event data identifies a Babymetal appearance at the venue on May 10, 2016, with Halestorm and Violent Vira listed among the performers. It does not provide further details about earlier venue appearances, so additional past dates cannot be confirmed here.

Venue and Seating Information
Located at 8656 Colesville Road, The Fillmore Silver Spring is a mid-size concert venue with an approximate capacity of 2,000. Most shows feature a general-admission standing floor rather than assigned seats, creating a close-up concert experience. The venue also offers accessible seating and select premium options; availability can vary by event.
For the strongest view and an immersive atmosphere, the center of the main floor is a practical choice. General-admission positions are first-come, first-served, so arriving early can help secure a preferred spot. Areas toward the back near the bar may have less direct sightlines, while the downstairs Vertigo Lounge provides a pre-show space.
