First show of the Australasian leg of The Resistance Tour, in support of the album The Resistance and first show of 2010.

Information

Announced on the 12th of November 2009, with the following date, general ticket sale started a week later, on the 19th of November, Muse played at Seoul's Olympic Park, at the Gymnastics Arena, as part of their Australasian run of shows for The Resistance Tour.

The stage set up was minimal compared to the European and U.S. indoor stage setup, likely due to both logistics, and the nature of the tour and the arenas, with three LED screens behind the band displaying the visuals which would've been displayed on the towers.

The show

During Unnatural Selection, Matthew Bellamy sang "I'm hungry for commotion" instead of "No religion or mind virus".
