The producton also included Morgan's little light show.

As a Christmas present in December 2012, Muse sent all fans signed up to muse.mu a printable PDF file, titled "Build your own The 2nd Law Stage", so you could build your own stage out of paper.

The Unsustainable Tour Production

The Unsustainable Tour Production had the biggest stage on any Muse tours so far. The stage itself represented a giant powerhouse. The stage consisted of a giant LED screen with a triangle section in the middle, which resembled a pyramid, it included a semi-circle LED screen section on the stage itself aswell as the same drum section configuration as the arena production. The big LED screen was supported by 6 massive steel pillars which had massive flame-throwers on top that doubled as smoke-machines, representing the smoke stacks on powerhouses. On several ocasions (if the stadium ceilling covered the whole area or if the stadium ceiling was too low), the bigger flame throwers had to be replaced by smaller flame-throwers that were placed on both left and right wings of the stage.
The stage had a long truss that led to the little B-Stage, from which the intro explosion was fired and on which Matt or Chris sang and the band performed songs which featured an electronic drum-kit such as Undisclosed Desires.
The production also featured several other acts such as the floating light-bulb (similar to the UFO and the H.A.A.R.P. balloon acrobat) and Charles the Robot.

The Festival Production

The festival production was much simpler than the one of The Resistance era. It consisted of three big LED screens (one in the middle and two on each side) which displayed visuals (same as those of The Unsustainable tour production). It also consisted of the semi-circle LED screen and the same drum section as all the previous productions.
