Meat Loaf Comprehensive Touring Schedule

Touring Schedule & General Performance List (1965-2021)

Last Updated: July 26th 2026.

Since late 2019, I have been working on putting together the most complete list of Meat Loaf's concert performances, live appearances, theatre runs and tours. I was inspired to do this after the closure of MeatLoafExperience, where Ad, the operator maintained a tour date list of his own that he had began around 2010 on MLUKFC. My intention was to expand the list, and thanks to many great people sending in information, chiefly Gary Haldane whose info has been invaluable, I have been able to compile this, a comprehensive guide to the performing history of this powerhouse artist.

The list lives in a Google Doc which is accessible here and is updated fairly often. Underneath this is a list of the different eras I and many others divide Meat's career into, and below that a list of all Meat's tours under their correct names. This has been a passion project for me and I am very happy with this list. Just recently it has been re-formatted slightly and images corresponding to every tour and most legs have been added. Thank you for visiting this page, which is a companion to the NLE lineup page.
