The Martians are back!
In October 2026, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds - Live! The Concert Experience! will be touring theatres and concert halls across the UK. For the very first time, audiences will experience a concert rendition of the iconic score, presented by Kilimanjaro.
Lose yourself in Jeff Wayne’s legendary double album, brought to life with West End performers, live band, orchestra and animation.
Jeff says: "It’s 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.”
We have waited to see this show for ages, been a massive fan of the book and soundtrack. To finally see it was everything and more. The cast were excellent, the music, nothing more to say and the props made it better. Well done and thank you
Superb a million to one experience. The seats weren't the best but it didn't matter the show made up for that. Differently a million to one experience. Well worth a look highly recommended. Thank you everyone for making it a brilliant experience 😀
Jeff Wayne has added even more elements to the show for an unforgettable experience.
Absolutely amazing we loved it,and everyone sitting around us enjoyed it too 😀
Fantastic show. O2 arena was great. Toilets inside arena minging.
Fantastic show, so much talent on one stage . Would go and see again and again . Amazing. But would not see at the Birmingham venue the seats are so close together you are nearly sitting on the other persons lap .I am only tiny and felt really uncomfortable and not able to move . But the show was totally amazing and will see it again somewhere else 🥰
Went to the show last night and it was brilliant glad I went thank you
Unmissable - strongly recommended for the whole family
What an amazing show. This is the first time we have ever seen it , and we were blown away by the experience. We highly recommend this show. So professionally organised. It was so realistic the actors/ singers, orchestra and band just brilliant
Excellent show bringing the story to life. Great music and enough acting to enhance the story without detracting from the show. A wonderful experience.
