The Casa de Carne Tour
# The Casa de Carne Tour

Casa de Carne (Spanish: House of Meat) is the name of Meat Loaf's 2008 European Summer Tour. After his 2007 tour was cut short due to a cyst on his vocal cord, Meat Loaf returned to the stage. To the delight of fans, Meat Loaf made his return alongside his longtime duet partner Patti Russo, who debuted one of her own original songs during Loaf's show. The tour kicked off in Plymouth, England on 27 June 2008 and continued through July and August with 20 showdates throughout Europe. Six United States showdates were also added for October and December 2008.
