Part of The Unsustainable Tour

Information

Announced on the 15th of November 2012, Muse performed within Stadio Olimpico on the 6th of July 2013 as part of the summer stadium tour.^[1] Pre-sale started at 09:00 on the 21st of November,^[3] and general sale at 09:00 on the 23rd.^[2]

Before Muse came on stage, a speaker announced (in Italian) that audio and video recording of the gig will be used on the third live album of the band: Live at Rome Olympic Stadium.

Throughout the show, Matt spoke in Italian many times and wore an Italian flag while singing Undisclosed Desires and walking next to the fans.

In an Australian interview two weeks after the gig, Matt said they had to "bribe people with thousands of euros just to be allowed to blast our fire effects. We had to phone the British Embassy in Rome and argue with some official."^[4] An investigation was launched by officials into the allegations, which sparked the release of a statement from the band's management saying that Bellamy had been misinterpreted, and that no bribes were made. All relevant legal documentation was shown, and the investigation was closed.^[5]

The show was performed in front of a sold-out crowd of 60,963 people.
