Muse ignited their North American tour like a rocket blast-off, blasting into action in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 2nd July 2026, with an electrifying performance at Summerfest. The opening night was a sizzling hot ticket, as fans were given the first live taste of tracks from their scorching new album, 'The Wow! Signal', fresh off its release just six days prior.
The setlist was a masterclass in musical alchemy, with the live debuts of 'Hexagons' and 'Nightshift Superstar' sending shockwaves through the crowd. Other tracks from 'The Wow! Signal', such as 'Cryogen', 'Be With You', and 'Unravelling', were also high-octane highlights, but it was the brief power outage during 'Unravelling' that showed even Muse can't escape the unpredictable nature of live music – the band seamlessly rebooted and refocused to deliver a show-stopping finish.
The Temper Trap will be joining Muse as special guests for every stop on this epic tour, with Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man stepping in for select dates. And what an incredible journey it promises to be: from the opening night's Summerfest spectacle to the grand finale at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 31st August – a true odyssey that will leave fans breathless.
But hold onto your seats, UK fans! After dominating North America, Muse brings 'The Wow! Signal' home with two nights at Manchester's Co-op Live on 12th and 13th November, followed by two dates at London's The O2 on 15th and 16th November – tickets are already selling fast. And don't be surprised if Matt Bellamy pulls out all the stops for these UK shows: he's hinted at a significantly more ambitious stage production than what we've seen in North America, with plans to build a 'spaceship' for the European leg that will leave audiences awestruck.
