Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds: Alive on Stage

No one would have believed that The War Of The Worlds is back in 2025. Dubbed The Spirit of Man, Jeff Wayne’s latest iteration marks the next evolutionary step in what has become one of the most successful albums and productions of the past half century. Inspired by HG Wells’ famous novel of the same name, TWOTW is making a return in 2025 with a new 17-date UK and Ireland arena tour, including the O2, arriving just in time to celebrate 130 years since the publication of the Victorian tale, recounting the story of the Martian invasion of 1898.

DIABOLICAL and Kilimanjaro Live welcomed back the monumental tour with six different creative billboards across London, Manchester, Sheffield, Cardiff, Liverpool and Birmingham. Portraying the gravity of the Martian invasion (as well as the dates of each show), the builds featured several Fighting Machines – as if they had been teleported from 1898 – towering over the streets, leaving a wake of destruction across each site. The billboards, just like the show, are not to be missed.
