MEAT LOAF – GUILTY PLEASURE TOUR

Buy Meat Loaf merchandise here!

Some people think big. Some people think huge. Then there’s Meat Loaf. While other artists may have tried to match his scale and sound, so far none have come close. Happily, he’s heading back to Australia & New Zealand for a massive run of arena and A Day On The Green winery shows proudly presented by The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse.

Meat Loaf certainly requires no introduction, he burst onto the world music stage in 1977 with his landmark release Bat Out of Hell, which transformed him from a stage actor into a rock ‘n’ roll icon. This album has sold more than 43 million copies worldwide and is the third biggest selling record of all time, selling in excess of 200,000 copies a year! Significantly, it is still the number one selling international album in Australia with 1,610,000 copies sold and has been awarded 23 x Platinum status.
