Information

Rumoured in early January but confirmed by the band the 28th 2019, Muse announced that they'll back in Mexico City the 3rd October. Presale and sale began on 5th and 6th February.

The Show

On a special video to MusersOfMuse (a Mexican fanbase) Dom said they would "definitely play Showbiz" . It was not played on the first night, but made it's tour debut on this night due to many people chanting in the crowd for it to be played. It replaced Bliss which was on the setlist.

After just one gig, Matt broke his Manson Matt Black 3.0; he split the head in two, the broken part hanging by the strings.

The show has been one of the band's favourite, if not the most favourite shows on this tour; Dom Anderson and Morgan Nicholls confirmed it was their loudest crowd yet. At the end of the show, Matt sang "Mexico" 6 times and Dom came with a Mexican flag on his back.

Last performance of the Houston Jam and Take A Bow to date.
