Members of the late Meat Loaf’s band are returning to the UK with ‘Celebrating Meat Loaf’ in 2024.
The tour, which celebrates the icon’s music, will see The Neverland Express plus American Idol winner Caleb Johnson touring the UK following the overwhelming response to their first-ever UK tour last May.
The new show, “Never Stop Rockin'” will start on Saturday 13th September at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall and culminates in Cambridge at the Corn Exchange on Sunday 22nd September 2024. The concert is the only authentic reimagining of the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman songbook performed brilliantly by world-class alumni of Meat Loaf’s official band – the same musicians who brought his musical visions to life both in the studio and on stages around the world.
Caleb Johnson returns with the band, having established his legitimacy as the premier lead vocalist for this timeless music through his powerful interpretations and furiously electrifying stage presence.
Led by Meat Loaf’s longtime record producer/ music director/ guitarist Paul Crook alongside fellow alumni John Miceli (drums), Randy Flowers (guitar), Lyssa Lynne (female lead/ backing vocals), Danny Miranda (bass) and including Andy Ascolese (piano) and Kiley Baxter (backing vocals), the band and Caleb perform a thoughtfully curated set list of Meat Loaf’s best loved classics such as ‘Bat Out of Hell’, ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Light’ and ‘I Would Do Anything For Love’.
As an added second set bonus, the show includes hit songs from ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ which celebrates its 50th anniversary. Meat Loaf starred as luckless delivery driver, Eddie, in the hit film and sang the showstopper, ‘Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul’.
Created & produced by Paul Crook, this is the only band that was officially endorsed by Meat Loaf.
