ROAD REPORT // MUSE WRAP UP US ARENA TOUR

By Sam Tonks

 

We’re now just three weeks away from Muse taking over London Stadium for a night which is set to be unforgettable. The 1st June is the date to remember, with the band starting their European leg of the ‘Simulation Theory’ tour on the 26th May in Prague.

They have just ended their US run which kicked-off in February, raising roofs all around the country, amplifying the excitement for their visit to London.

Covering 17 venues, in 17 cities, across 13 states, Muse are a worldwide phenomenon. Performing their first studio album in four years, Simulation Theory was number one in the UK in its first week and signifies their continued popularity as one of the world’s best rock bands. That sounds good, but it sounds even better in the words of those who’ve seen it in the flesh…

The Loyola Phoenix described the concert as ‘an experience of living in a virtual reality program, a fantastic combination of tech and talent’. 

The band was centre stage in Washington last month, Substream Magazine praised it as a ‘rock spectacle for the eyes and ears- inflatable robots, laser lights and synth-pop included’.

Supported by a dance troupe as well, it’s more than just a concert, it’s an experience. 

Website ‘Live In Limbo’ say ‘the crowds have got bigger but the songs remain mega’. Muse have been proving they have not lost a beat, they continued saying ‘these guys deliver big bang for the dollar with high-octane songs accompanied by some high-octane visuals’.

If their state-side arena shows are anything to go by, their immense back catalogue and unique production will make Muse’s night at London Stadium one to remember.
