The 2026 tour of The Battle has unfortunately been cancelled.
Producers Melting Pot said “We are sorry to announce the cancellation of the forthcoming tour of The Battle as the scale of the production has proven to make a weekly tour unviable around the country. In order to protect the integrity of the work the producers have made the decision not to proceed with the tour as planned.
We know this news will be disappointing to many who were looking forward to experiencing the production and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
London, 1995. Two of the country’s biggest bands release singles on the same day, commencing the battle of Britpop.
On one side, clean-cut, art-school intellectuals from the South. On the other: raw and unapologetic lads from the North. Rivalries flare, friendships fracture and at the centre of it all a mania that would define an era – were you Blur or Oasis?
From the chaos of the Brit Awards to the infamous chart war, The Battle is a wickedly funny dive into one of the greatest rivalries in rock history. Featuring legendary personalities and unforgettable clashes, it was never just about the music, but power, pride, and uncontrollable competitiveness. Expect filthy language and razor-sharp dialogue in this cut-throat new comedy that puts you right at the heart of the feuding, the fame, and the fallout.
