The new tour will open on the 6th January 2025 at the Edinburgh Playhouse.
Following a successful UK, Ireland and International tour from 2021 – 2023, the award winning musical is ready to head back out on the road again in 2025, having announced a brand new tour.
Running until the 20 September 2025 in Northampton, the new UK tour has been inspired by the arena tour of Australia and New Zealand, this new experience featuring a dynamic eight-piece rock band on stage and sprawling multi-level platforms that will transport audiences through the diverse worlds of Bat Out of Hell.
This new UK tour will see Glenn Adamson (We Will Rock You, London Coliseum, Bat Boy in concert, London Palladium) as Strat, Katie Tonkinson (Bonnie and Clyde, UK & Ireland Tour) as Raven and original leading cast members Rob Fowler (MAMMA MIA!, UK & International tour, Tanz Der Vampire Das Musical, German tour) as Falco and Sharon Sexton (MAMMA MIA!, UK & International tour, Billy Elliot The Musical) as Sloane all returning to the musical.
As the Lost boys and girls flee into the tunnels below the city from its ruler Falco, his teenage daughter Raven locks eyes with fearless leader of the Lost, the immortal Strat, and the immensity of their love-at-first-sight-obsessions threaten to destroy both of their families.
Bat Out Of Hell – The Musical first had limited seasons at the Manchester Opera House, London Coliseum and London’s Dominion Theatre. It has also had successful runs in Canada, Germany and New York, a residency in Las Vegas and the international tour took the show to the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
