By far, the Mexican media coverage of the BABYMETAL World Tour in Mexico City, is much better than the USA media coverage of the first BABYMETAL visit for BABYMETAL World Tour 2014 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, actually USA media was focused on Lady Gaga ArtRave Tour and BABYMETAL as support band more than the World Tour.
Mexican media isn't succulent in terms of information compared with Kerrang Magazine or Metal Hammer which are very known wolrdwide mainly in United States and United Kingdom, but the Mexican media is massive in terms of quantity of posts. European media and mainly United States media should take this as an example of how to promote a band like BABYMETAL.
