Information

Muse played this show to raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. The money was given to two organisations; Cap48 and Viva for Life. This was the second time Muse worked on Music For Life after 2012, when a choir of people with dementia, called De Betties went on stage before the Muse gig in Sportpaleis, Antwerp and sung Follow Me to raise awareness of dementia. (watch).

No tickets were sold. The attendees were chosen via a competition organised by Classic 21 and Pure FM radios. The competition was exclusive to Belgium.

The band raised a total of 198.168€ (as seen in the photo on the right).

This gig marked the first performance of Defector and the return of United States of Eurasia since 2013. Matt repeated the line "Must we do as we're told" instead of saying "United States".

Dead Inside wasn't played for the first time (in major gigs) since it's debut.

Studio Brussel radio conducted two pre-show interviews. The interview with Matt can be seen here. The interview with the whole band can be seen here.
