After tickets went on sale for the UK leg of Muse’s supermassive ‘Will Of The People World Tour’ with Royal Blood, everyone else in the world was left waiting for a time. It was inevitable that the dates would be announced eventually, but why have we been kept waiting so long?! Fortunately, that time has now passed and we have 10 more dates across Europe, maintaining the stadium scale that we have become so used to from Muse. Most tickets go on sale this Friday (September 16th) at 10am (local time), the only exception being the French shows that go on sale Next Thursday (September 22nd).

The band released their 9th LP, Will Of The People, a few weeks back and wow… what an experience that album is. Regardless of how on board you are of Muse’s trademark bombast, it’s undeniable that the album takes every conceivable dial and turns it as far as it’ll go – sometimes to its detriment. In an attempt to keep up with the current musical landscape the band also made the decision to sell their album in an NFT format. Making them the first artist to make UK number 1 with the implemented technology.
2 weeks ago, the band released their most recent single, “You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween”, alongside the full album. Exploring their more overtly spooky tendencies, the track sees the band go full Danny Elfman for about 4 minutes. The Tom Teller-directed music video forces as many references to 80’s horror cult classics that it almost feels like a trailer to a pseudo-MCU horror movie, but with the guys from ‘Scream’ instead of Iron Man. You can check out the video below.
As mentioned before, the group announced the UK leg of the tour a few weeks back. With support from Royal Blood, the 4-night tour will see – probably – some massive-scale shows at some of the country’s biggest venues. The shows will kick off at Plymouth’s Home Park on 27th May 2023. Tickets have already gone on sale so you can try to bag any remaining spots here. If the band’s history is anything to rely on, the shows will carry the tradition of just trying to do everything they did on the last tour… but bigger. Expect massive puppets on stage, fireworks, and maybe even some people floating over the crowd. Who’s to say.

27/05/23 – Home Park – Plymouth
20/06 – John Smith’s Stadium – Huddersfield
