Promo poster with tour dates



An upcoming world tour that will begin in late February of 2019 in Houston, Texas. The European leg of the tour will end in July of the same year in Madrid, Spain, but the Simulation Theory World Tour itself will be probably elonged, with some gigs in Asia and South America. At the moment two dates were added in Mexico City in October.

Information

The shows are set up for stadiums, but some gigs will also take place in arenas, using the same stage set up.

The supporting band during the American leg of the Simulation Theory Tour (except for the Washington and Philadelphia gigs) was anounced the 14 January, and they are Walk the Moon.

According to Bellamy, the band's going to do about two hour sets. He's also planning on playing a 15 minute-or-so "metal medley", featuring bits of heavy songs (not just riffs). He said he'd like to play that because they would like to fit in as many songs in setlists as they can without surpassing two hours too much (due to fatigue).

The tour will also feature a big skeleton robot puppet behind the stage and several dancers/performers in costumes & robot suits.

The alternate reality versions of Algorithm and Dig Down made their debut on the tour.

Stage Design

The stage design is very similar to The Unsustainable Tour

The light trussing above the stage is vaguely shaped like the spaceship featured in the album cover of Simulation Theory.

Enhanced Experience Package

The three VR games contained in the enchanced experience package

The enhanced experience packages contain access to the "Mixed Reality Pre-Show Party", which will include photo opportunities with various props and whatnot from the Simulation Theory music videos, a bar service and a station with a series of VR-based arcade machine games (which have been made and produced by Microsoft and the band).

The VR games include:

  • Simulation Striker - a motion controller based game - player enters a hallway (seen in Break It To Me video), a portal (seen in the Algorithm video) opens up infront of the player and various shapes fly out of it. The player has to punch them out in order to survive. The game is soundtracked by Algorithm.
  • Retrograde Racer - a racing based game - player races through a futuristic world filled with neon tunnels and a desert wasteland (based on the one in The Dark Side/Something Human videos). The player must dodge skeletons and various road blocks. The game is soundtracked by The Dark Side.
  • Spaceship Defender - another motion controller based game - player has to pilot a spaceship whilst being attacked by critters (seen in Pressure music video). The game is soundtracked by Pressure.
