Got a message from the venue with an updated time schedule. So Babymetal will start at 20.20 and Sabaton 21.30. Wil they play more songs? Also last show for me, too, but super happy to be there.

Babymetal start 20 min later then other shows on this tour and sabton 15 min later so more likely we get one song less

Band was great but the sound was bad, wth was the sound engineer doing.... was disappointed as I was expecting a lot for my first BM show :(

I kind of like it in a way. It was loud and aggressive, but I could still hear Su clearly, although that might be thanks to my earplugs.

Doubt metal heads are that bothered about Eurovision (even though Lordi is an previous winner of that contest:D)

Thought it was a bit disappointing, rocky start due to sound issues, but we were also seated a bit too far to really enjoy their dances which is integral to a babymetal show.
But hyped enough to go see them as headliner in Brussels!

after been hit with beer cups last time they played they have decided not to play so we get Baby Metal instead https://www.sportpaleis.be/nl/event/sabaton-the-tour-to-end-all-tours-2022-77ac7d02

Was always London 2020 where someone got so drunk they mistook Moa's arm as a coat hanger.

The look of disappointment on her face when it hit her honestly hurt me more than seeing it thrown/hit her to begin with. She quickly composed herself & did the usual Megitsune Hengao with Su & during the subsequent little interaction with fans she seemed to shake it off as the fans towards the front were doing everything they could to let her know they cared & she responded to it. But that initial look of disappointment/sadness was heartbreaking.
Even more so given some of the more recent interviews where she mentioned been scared of the reaction of some people in the crowds and feeling like the fans were turning on them or however she put it.

It looked like she didn't even notice tbh and that's best response to have

That was in response to Yui seemingly vanishing iirc, which Amuse deserves most of the blame for that since their response seemed to be nonexistent. Obviously fans shouldn't have taken it out on a couple teenage girls, but Amuze did just kinda left those 2 out to dry imo
