First gig of the Psycho UK Tour and first gig of 2015. First show of the Drones era.

Information

Rumours of the gig first began on March 10th following a tweet from Matt stating "there's a time and a place i.e. 9pm, Belfast, Sunday". It was then discovered that a Northern Ireland production company had mentioned on Facebook a week before that Muse were to play Ulster Hall in two weeks. The gig was then announced the day after Matt's tweet.

This was the first time the band played in Belfast since 4th November 2006 and the second time played at Ulster Hall (first gig: 21st February 2004).

The Show

Psycho and Reapers made their live debuts, and Uno was played for the first time since 2003. Fury was also played, though was played half a step down. Plug In Baby was on the setlist but was played earlier on than originally intended on the setlist, and Starlight was played with Matt on guitar for the first time since mid-2013.

Matt reportedly told a group of fans prior to the gig that Uno and Assassin were likely to be played. While Uno was successfully played, the band had not rehearsed Assassin beforehand and Matt was unable to remember how to play more than just a few sections of the song. Ultimately the band had to abandon playing the song, but stated they would try and play it "next time" (which they did the following week).

Uprising was dedicated to Matt's uncle, David Bellamy, a Duke of Wellington regiment warrant officer, who was killed in a hail of 30 bullets during the IRA ambush in October 1979.

This gig marked the first uses of the Manson Matt Black 2.0, Manson Matt Black Stealth, Manson Copper Bomber, Manson M1D1 Gloss Black 2.0, Manson Silver Glitter Holes, and the Fender Aluminum Stratocaster.

Speech

(Incomplete)

After Psycho Bellamy "Thank you!"
Before Uno "You thought that was old. Chris, when's the last time we played this one? He's remembering. Oh, when? Yeah, we think we might not have played this next one for, it can't be that old, we're not that fucking old are we? 15 years?"
After Supermassive Black Hole "Love you too.... or something. Cool place here. Can we play it? Forgot to rehearse it, I saw that little hashtag vibe today and I can't remember how it goes. Have to learn Assassin they say. I can't remember it. Maybe we'll fuck up badly, but we'll try it. "
Before Unnatural Selection "Maybe we’ll work it out for next time."
Before Uprising "[My uncle] killed here in '79 in the troubles."

Media

The show was fan-recorded, you can watch the songs below (only Stockholm Syndrome is incomplete). The full gig was also recorded in audio, you can download it from MuseBootlegs.

Muse also posted a clip from the gig on their Instagram account (click this link to view), showing Matt throwing his guitar into and overturning his Marshall amp. He had pushed this same amp over and stood on top of it earlier in the gig after Agitated. Matt later posted a photo on Instagram (click this link to view) showing the guitar was undamaged.
