Analysis and Explanation

Dig Down was written, recorded and released alongside a music video in around six weeks, among the shortest production times for any Muse song in history. For the 2017 tour, though it was skipped at the first concert in Orlando, it became the opener from that point onwards and was performed at every show for the rest of the year. The song was almost always the opening track throughout its Drones-era performances. For 2018, Dig Down returned, though not as the show intro. Instead, the song was performed midway through the setlist and sometimes in conjunction with Isolated System.

The song's controversial status among fans might not cement it in a permanent setlist position, though with it being the opener for the 2017 tour, it is unlikely to be seen dropped anytime soon. Dig Down is expected to be seen throughout the Simulation Theory album tour and possibly extensively afterwards as well.

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.

** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016.
