The Babymetal Lima concert takes place at Costa 21 on Monday 7 December 2026, with Teleticket prices from about US$45 to US$82. Babymetal is the Japanese band that mixes heavy metal with pop.
The ticket page says the show may begin at 9 p.m., which is also 9 p.m. in New York that night. It lists no separate doors time and no support act.
What Babymetal Is and Why Lima Matters
Babymetal is a Japanese band whose style the Peruvian broadcaster RPP calls kawaii metal. Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute, and the sound pairs pop-style singing and dance with heavy guitars.
The group last played Lima in 2024 at the amphitheatre of the Parque de la Exposición, where La República reported that it sold out. This time the show moves to Costa 21, which the newspaper says is a larger venue.
Lima is one of five Latin American dates on the group’s 2026 world tour, MetalSucks reported. The others are São Paulo on 28 November, Buenos Aires on 1 December, Santiago on 3 December and Mexico City on 12 December.
For US readers, the Babymetal Lima concert follows the band’s North American leg, which ran from 30 August to 3 October. Halestorm and Violent Vira joined that leg, Kerrang reported, but neither is listed for Lima.
Sleeping With Sirens play the same venue the night before, as <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/sleeping-with-sirens-lima-costa-21-2026/”>our guide to the 6 December show</a> explains. The Jacksons follow on 15 December at <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/the-jacksons-lima-2026-costa-21-december-15-first-peru-concert/”>Costa 21 as well</a>.
Date, Start Time and Schedule in US Eastern Time
The Teleticket page says the Babymetal show may begin at 9 p.m. on Monday 7 December 2026 and lasts about two hours. If it starts on time, it would end around 11 p.m.
Peru does not change its clocks and sits on UTC-5 all year, and US Eastern Time is also UTC-5 in December. A 9 p.m. start in Lima is therefore 9 p.m. in New York, with no time difference.
Teleticket gives no separate doors time. It says late entry follows the organiser’s and venue’s rules, and re-entry is not allowed.
No support act is listed on the ticket page for the Babymetal Lima concert. Fans should treat the 9 p.m. time as a guide until the organiser publishes a full schedule.
The e-tickets become available two days before the show, according to the Teleticket page. That means they should arrive around Saturday 5 December.
Tickets, Zones and Prices in US Dollars
Teleticket sells two general zones for the Babymetal Lima concert, Campo A and Campo B, with the service fee included in each price. US$ figures here use about S/3.44 to the US dollar, the rate on Friday 16 October 2026.
Regular tickets cost S/282 (about US$82) in Campo A and S/153 (about US$45) in the cheaper zone. Teleticket shows these prices as running until the day of the concert.
The earlier presales have ended. Interbank cardholders paid S/240 (about US$70) for Campo A and S/130 (about US$38) for Campo B on 22 and 23 April.
Teleticket also sells three VIP packages, each with one Campo A entry, until Tuesday 1 December or until stock runs out. The Metal Initiate costs S/950 (about US$277), The Metal Oath S/1,360 (about US$396) and The Fox God’s Chosen S/3,170 (about US$923).
A disability-access rate of S/225 (about US$66) for Campo A is offered through CONADIS, the Peruvian disability council. It covers six seats, one per accredited person, and each buyer may take six tickets.
All sales are final, and Teleticket does not accept returns or exchanges. VIP packages cannot be transferred, cannot be put in the name of another person and are not valid for fan-to-fan resale.
Buy only on the official Teleticket page, because a ticket from a street seller or a social media post cannot be checked. Teleticket also notes that its seating plan is for reference only.
Getting to Costa 21 in San Miguel
Costa 21 stands on the Costa Verde in San Miguel, and Teleticket lists its address as Costa Verde, with no street number. The venue’s website places it at the John Lennon slope, on more than 20,000 square metres.
The venue says it holds about 30,000 people standing or 20,000 seated. Parking for 1,500 vehicles costs S/30 (about US$9), and the transport authority ATU supports arrivals and departures on event days.
The US State Department advises travellers in Peru to use an app-based taxi, a phone-booked taxi or a hotel service. It warns that travellers have been assaulted or robbed after hailing an unknown taxi on the street.
Uber and other ride-hailing apps are widely used in Peru, according to the same advisory. After the show, walk a few minutes from the gate before ordering a car, and agree on a pick-up point.
Jorge Chávez International Airport has authorised taxi booths that charge a flat rate by destination, the State Department says. For hotels and neighbourhoods, see <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/lima/”>our Lima city guide</a>.
Safety, Costs and Entry Rules for US Visitors
Americans heading to the Babymetal Lima concert do not need a visa for tourist stays under 90 days, according to the US State Department. The passport must be valid for six months at entry and have one blank page for the stamp.
Amounts above US$10,000 in cash or similar items must be declared on arrival and departure. Border officials set the length of stay, and an unrecorded entry can lead to a fine on exit.
The State Department rates Peru at Level 2 of 4, “Exercise increased caution”, in an advisory dated Friday 4 September 2026. It says crime is a widespread problem in Peru and that the risk increases at night.
The advisory names no Lima-specific warning and no state of emergency in Lima or Callao. It does tell visitors to stay alert in crowded areas and on public transport, where thieves may create distractions.
Costa 21 does not allow outside food or drinks, and pets are not allowed. Everyone, including children, needs a ticket, and the venue says food and drinks inside are supplied by a caterer, Otto Kunz.
A realistic budget for the Babymetal Lima concert is US$45 to US$82 for the ticket, about US$9 for parking and a ride-hailing trip each way. Carry some soles as well as a card, and keep your phone out of sight on the walk to the gate.
What Is Not Known
Teleticket gives no doors time and says only that the show may begin at 9 in the evening. No support act and no setlist have been announced for the Babymetal Lima concert.
The ticket page does not show whether Campo A, Campo B or the VIP packages are sold out. Check the page before you book flights or a hotel.
The Teleticket page names Concerts Sports AEI10 S.A.C. as the organiser, while the newspaper Expreso named Masterlive Perú as the producer. Neither company has said who handles questions from ticket holders.
The VIP packages are listed by name and price, but the page does not say what they include beyond one Campo A entry. Fans interested in them should ask Teleticket before paying.
Rock fans planning a longer stay can also see <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/foo-fighters-lima-concert-estadio-san-marcos-2027/”>Foo Fighters at Estadio San Marcos on 3 March 2027</a>. That show has its own seller, Ticketmaster.
