Jeff Wayne’s The War of The Worlds 2025 UK & Ireland arena tour announced

Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds is back with a monumental new 17-date (19 shows) UK and Ireland arena tour, arriving just in time to celebrate 130 years since the publication of H.G. Wells’ dark Victorian tale.

The show is conducted by Jeff Wayne and features Liam Neeson in 3D holography as The Journalist, who recounts his story of survival from the Martian invasion of 1898. 

The tour will again feature an exciting new cast to be announced over the coming months. 

One of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds (TWOTW) returns with a musical spectacular like none other, with the production remaining a favourite to millions around the world, exciting audiences of all ages. 

In 2006, TWOTW was already considered a cutting-edge production with six trucks filled to the brim. By 2025, marking 19 years of live touring, the production will be up to 12 trucks, with a host of new ingredients and special effects to challenge and excite the senses.
