Information
Announced on March 31st, 2025, Muse were set to perform at Istanbul's Yenikapi Festival Park on June 11th of the same year. This would be the only solo headlining gig in 2025, not part of any festivals.
The gig's announcement came in after the planned 2016 gig in Istanbul was cancelled after a coup attempt, which happened a couple weeks prior.
Controversy & Cancellation
Due to the concert's organiser's (DBL Entertainment) chairman being in favour of Turkish president Erdogan and denouncing on-going demonstrations against the Turkish oppressive government, with artists like Trevor Noah and Ane Brun also cancelling their concerts organised by DBL[5], the band have received pressure from fans to pull out of the event.[6]
Despite DBL Entertainment saying they withdrew from organising the event, Muse announced on April 2nd, 2024, that they would postpone the concert to 2026 in order to fully ensure that DBL Entertainment will not be involved.[7]
