Last at Bat was a Meat Loaf concert tour that played 17 dates in Europe during April and May 2013.
The first show was in Newcastle, England on 5 April 2013. The Nottingham performance was cancelled hours before it was due to begin, due to medical conditions affecting several members of the band. The Manchester performance was also cancelled for the same reason; both were rescheduled to 20 and 25 May respectively and made Manchester the final date of the tour.
