Last at Bat was a Meat Loaf concert tour that played 17 dates in Europe during April and May 2013.[1]

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.[2] 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.
