UK kitsunes, rest easy: You don’t need to travel to France to see Babymetal at Download, but will be able to do it (relatively) in your own backyard.
This is funny-newsworthy, though, because of this:

Fittingly, though, it was only a year later that Babymetal infamously “crashed” Download with their pals DragonForce just ahead of their (winning) appearance at the Golden Gods. Also, this happened:
So, Andy Copping, first you were out-foxed* by Babymetal, and now they have forced your hand. Ha.
