Information
A small and very secret gig, which took place in The Cavern Club, Exeter, on April 7th, 2022, in support of Will of the People. First show after more than two years, after the pandemic measures were lifted/mitigated. This also marked Muse's return to The Cavern (the club where the band started it all) after 23 years, when Muse last performed at the venue, in 1999. According to SeeTickets, Muse were filming the performance for a promotional video. It was reportedly filmed for Jim Beam's Welcome Sessions - possibly the reason as to why the event was only eligible for people aged 25 and over. Fans also had to sign legal documents, with phones taken away at the doors.
Tickets were free, but attendees had to enter a ballot with a £5 compulsory donation to War Child UK. Proceeds went to help children in war-affected areas, such as Ukraine and Yemen.
The gig saw live premieres of Won't Stand Down & Compliance. Assassin, Stockholm Syndrome and Agitated were all played in full for the first time since 2018 - the latter two did not appear on the original setlist. Assassin meanwhile was performed in its Grand Omega Bosses form for the first time since 2005, which included the additional vocals featured in the bridge sung by Matt.[6] Compliance was played on guitar and the Execution Commentary riff was also played for the first time since 2015.
