The 2022 tour, where Muse will be playing festivals around Europe throughout the entire summer, with one stop also in the USA, in autumn. The first tour of the Will of the People era, and first tour in three years, since the pandemic in 2020.

Information

Begining on June 4th, 2022, with a performance at Rock am Ring in Germany, and set to end with the gig at Aftershock Festival, in Sacramento, California, this is, as mentioned above, the first major tour, supporting the album, Will of the People. The tour will include Muse's debut performances at Nova Rock and Aftershock festivals, aswel as performances at the Isle of Wight, Eurockéennes and Rock in Rio Lisbon festivals.

Will of the People and Kill or Be Killed made their live debuts on the tour, with Compliance and Won't Stand Down being played before. Nishe was brought back after 11 years, played before Madness, and also played in full, once, so far, for the first time since 2000. Behold, The Glove, known during the Simulation Theory World Tour as "STT Interstitial 2" was played again, but with the entire band, and also in full.

On June 3rd, 2022, the entire tour's setlist template was leaked on Twitter.

Production

The show is, in some aspects, similar to the previous tour. Similar to Murph the Robot, the tour featured its counterpart, a large inflatable "masked hacker" figure, nicknamed "Will the Hacker", which was set up on-stage behind the band, and was present throughout most of the show (excluding the fist few songs). It's revealed during Won't Stand Down. The main difference between Will the Hacker and Murph is that the hacker is a lot bigger and bulkier. It's made up of three separate parts: Two shoulders, sitting on each side of the head, which is attached to trussing, rotating left to right slightly. Behind the hacker is a small wall of LED light strips, also attached to top trussing. Lights are also used to illuminate the inflatable figure from different angles.

Also similar to the Simulation Theory Tour is the use of The Power Glove. The difference, however, is, that the glove is now outfitted with a custom synth pad, which Matt uses to play the synth solo of Behold, The Glove and the synth intro of Uprising on. While doing so, Matt is wearing an LED leather jacket, similar to the jacket worn during the previous tour.

The gigs rely on heavy use of pyro, specifically, fire. The show opens with a large burning "WOTP" monogram logo, placed on a stand behind the band, while the band play the song Will of the People. The fire can be re-ignited at any given time, with the ability to lit up each letter separately. Fire machines are used throughout the rest of the show, during Won't Stand Down, Madness, Thought Contagion, Uprising and Kill or Be Killed.

Three video interstitials, named "Chant", "Parkour" and "Driving" are played during the show. These include elements from Will of the People's music video. The "Chant" one is played before Will of the People, and shows the video of the stone heads being torn down, seen during the last part of the music video, and also in the album trailer, posted on Muse's YouTube channel. The "Parkour" one shows the rioter running and jumping over buildings, as seen during the music video's first part, and is played between Compliance and Time Is Running Out. The "Driving" interstitial shows the vehicles from the music video being driven through the desert and is played before Plug In Baby.

With Mercy being dropped from the setlists, Compliance has taken over as the song during which the streamers are released.
