MEAT LOAF WORLD TOUR TAKING SHAPE:
March 31, 2005
The larger than life performer takes on Europe and North America.
Meat Loaf has heralded his return in style, this week confirming a world tour that will include dates across Europe and North America.
The rock and roll icon has spent almost two years away from the live stage following a 2003 tour that required the singer to undertake specialist heart surgery while on tour in the UK.
The tour kicks off June 3rd in Germany and, on the whole, consists of festival dates across Europe. Following a July 20 show in Switzerland, Meat Loaf heads over the Atlantic to begin a 21-date North American tour, including three shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre.
Pre-sale for many of the U.S and Canadian dates go on sale this week.
These shows will spotlight material from Meat Loaf’s upcoming project, which could well be the next instalment of his most famous work.
