Muse has commenced their 'The Wow! Signal' 2026 arena tour in Manchester, introducing new tracks and an ambitious stage production. The tour's opening night at the Co-op Live arena on Thursday, November 12, saw the band debut 'The Sickness In You & I' and 'The Dark Forest' live for the first time.
The stage design, in line with the new album's space theme, featured a massive "V" shaped screen, an intense light display, and the main stage designed to resemble the underside of a UFO. Frontman Matt Bellamy began the show on a smaller stage in the standing area, surrounded by a spherical LED light display that rose to engulf him.
Other songs from their 10th album, 'The Wow! Signal', performed included 'Hexagon', 'Unravelling', 'Be With You', 'Cryogen', and 'Nightshift Superstar'. The setlist also featured fan favourites such as 'Knights Of Cydonia' and 'Hysteria'.
