SPIRIT OF MAN

TOUR, 2025

One of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time, Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds (TWOTW) returns to arenas in 2025 with a musical spectacular like none other. Based on HG Wells’ dark Victorian tale, the production remains a favourite to millions around the world, exciting audiences of all ages, featuring Busted & Fightstar's Charlie Simpson, Enter Shikari's Rou Reynolds, The Wanted's Max George, TV's Maisie Smith, Nathan James and Anna-Marie Wayne.

I hope you will delve further into our website and learn more about the True Story of The Martian Invasion that is my musical version of… ‘The War of The Worlds’.

REMEMBERING HERBIE FLOWERS...

Hello Everyone

It’s with sadness that I and TWOTW Team would like you to know that one of the great British musicians, Herbie Flowers, passed away last Thursday after a long illness. Memories of someone we’ve lost, family or friend, are always sad occasions until time heals the wounds. But with Herbie, there was far too much brightness and cheeky positivity to feel ‘broken’ for very long – his immediate family I hope will feel the same. Read Jeff's full tribute here.

ROU REYNOLDS' HAS GOT A PLAN!

We are thrilled to announce that Enter Shikari’s Rou Reynolds will be joining our stellar cast for the upcoming 2025 arena tour of Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds as the enigmatic Artilleryman!

Hot off the back of a UK arena tour, and with 6 x Top 10 Albums under Enter Shikari's belt, frontman Rou said: "I understand that performing in a musical production isn’t the sort of thing people from our scene normally do, but my band has never paid much attention to what is expected of us. I relish this challenge.”

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT!

The War of The Worlds team are so thrilled to announce our first two cast members performing on The Spirit of Man Tour, 2025… For the first time in Martian history, a real-life couple will be performing as the married pair: Max George as Parson Nathaniel and Maisie Smith as Beth.

Jeff said: “Being a couple in real life will add to their on-stage charisma and chemistry. Maisie has such a melodic but powerful voice, which compliments Max’s dramatic and soulful vocals wonderfully."
