There won’t be an arena tour of The War of the Worlds next year but instead, something rather different.

The Musical Version of The War of The Worlds will be touring theatres and concert halls in October 2026, with a very special concert rendition, presented by Kilimanjaro. Featuring West End theatre stars, a band, orchestra and animation, this production will “feel like you’ve stepped into the 1978 double album.”

Artist pre-sale is going live on Wednesday 26 Nov 2025 at 12 midday (GMT). To access the pre-sale, sign up here: https://www.encoreform.com/…/d4e47…/PJjcYj1lmNjk0FCPZSCV

Jeff says: “Over the many years since my musical version was released, TWOTW has been performed as a concert rendition hundreds of times – but almost all have been international productions. It’s therefore a great thrill to announce that a special concert rendition of my original double album is to tour the UK in October next year – a first of its kind on our home shores. Performing at concert and theatre venues, it will give the audiences a different perspective of my musical version, stripping the ‘spectacle’ of my arena tours back down to its foundation…the music! For this concert tour, I’ll be stepping back from the podium, but the production will showcase exceptional artists from the West End and other major performing mediums, supported by a band, orchestra, animation and other concert elements. It will stand as a true companion to my arena tours.”
