'''Foro Sol''' ("The Sun Forum" in English) is a sports and concerts venue built in 1993, inside the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez race track, located in eastern Mexico City. It sits around 10 minutes away from the Mexico City International Airport, owned by the Mexico City Government, and operated by Grupo CIE. With its capacity of 65,000 people, Foro Sol can be considered second in capacity for large concert attendance in Mexico City after the aging, but very functional, Estadio Azteca, having the capacity of 87,523. The venue's name comes from a popular beer brand, "Cerveza Sol", of the Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma group.


The band started out as a five-day long one-off studio project, re-recording obscure music from Italian exploitation movie soundtracks. The first self-titled album, mostly containing re-works of 1970s soundtracks by Maestros such as [[Ennio Morricone]] and Luis Bacalov, was released in 2008. The album also contains first compositions by the band. The unexpected criticism led the band to tour around Italy and Europe. One song from the album, ''Una Stanza Vuota'', was sampled by Child of Lov on the song One Day, featuring Damon Albarn.
The venue was originally built simply for staging large music concerts. Initially called the Autódromo, it could accommodate up to 50,000 people. Since 2000 and up until 2014, it has been used as a baseball stadium as well, because the only other major baseball stadium in Mexico City (Parque del Seguro Social, formerly Parque Delta) was demolished to build a shopping mall. During that time, it hosted the Diablos Rojos del México and Tigres de México baseball teams. In 2009, it held the Pool B of the World Baseball Classic. Since 2015, Foro Sol is the host venue of the Mexico Grand Prix, and it hosts the Mexico City ePrix since 2016.


In 2009, the band won an award for Best Italian Tour at PIMI/MEI awards. In 2009, they also embarked on the first tour around the United States, playing at HitWeek Festival in Los Angeles and at Nublu and Zebulon in New York City. They also performed on Jason Bentley's radio show Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW. In September, they co-headlined the closing even of Milan Film Festival with [[Jet]]. In 2010, they released the second album, ''Ritornano quelli di...''. The album contains several original songs written for an American documentary called Eurocrime. A song from the album, called ''Uh Ah Brrr'' was also used in Red (2010 Movie), starring Bruce Willis and John Malkovich. At the same time, they also worked on a score for the Italian/Spanish pulp movie Said. Another song, ''Il Consigliori'', was sampled by Jay Z on his song, Picasso Baby. After some gigging around Europe and the USA, 2011 saw them working on the third album in New York City, at Mission Sound. The album was released in 2012 and is called ''Any Resemblance To Real Persons Or Actual Facts Is Purely Coincidental''. The title track from the album was sampled by Dr. Dre for his 2015 Compton album on the song One Shot One Kill (featuring Snoop Dogg and Jon Connor).  
Muse aren't strangers to the venue, having performed during The Resistance, Simulation Theory and Will of the People tours.


The fourth album, ''Traditori di tutti'', was released in 2013. The album only contains original songs and is the first album to do so. After the release, the band went on an extensive European tour, playing most major cities. In 2014, the Italian national radio, Rai Radio 1, commisioned all jingles and library music to the band. In the same year, they worked on scoring another full length movie called Sogni di Gloria / Daydreaming, which was awarded as "Best Feature Movie" at Houston Film Festival and Rome Independent Film Festival. In 2015, they released their fifth album, ''S.P.A.C.E.'', and in 2018, they released ''Decade''.

In 2022, the band has released another cover album, called "Scacco al Maestro, in which they've recorded Ennio Morricone songs, paying homage to him and his work. Their version of "Arena" from the album also features Bellamy on whistling vocals. The song can be heard [https://youtu.be/WVDk6Ly5pXk here].
