THE OFFICIAL Meat Loaf celebration is set to come to Glasgow next year.
Bat, a unique show commemorating legendary singer Meat Loaf, is hitting the road in May 2023 and arrives in the city's Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday, May 23.
In it, The Neverland Express will perform the entire Bat Out Of Hell album with American Idol winner Caleb Johnson.
The audience will also be able to hear hits from 'Bat Out of Hell II', 'Bat Out of Hell III', 'Dead Ringer' and even 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'.
Led by the iconic musician's longtime record producer, music director and guitarist Paul Crook, alongside John Miceli on drums, Randy Flowers playing the guitar and Lyssa Lynne as the female lead and backing vocals, the band will stay true to the original recordings while delivering the excitement of a live Meat Loaf show.

Paul Crook said: “To be perfectly honest, it’s going to be emotional as it’s our first time overseas without Meat Loaf. I know I can speak for the band in saying we have always considered our UK fanbase as family, a second home.
"They are loud, fun, passionate and, together with them, we are going to make this tour the ultimate celebration of our beloved Boss. Meat Loaf loved touring the UK and to say that he appreciated his fans would be an understatement.
"Very much like Meat Loaf, Caleb is a charming, true southern gentleman with a huge voice. This will be his very first time in the UK. We believe that our fanbase is going to welcome him into the “family” the second he steps on stage”

Caleb Johnson said: “I’m super excited and honored to be celebrating this legendary and iconic music. My life forever changed after hearing the blockbuster album "Bat Out of Hell” for the first time when I was 15 years old.
"Meat Loaf is a massive hero of mine and I’m looking forward to rocking with the UK family!”
