The overall design of the stage is minimalistic and stripped back, compared to previous festival stage designs. Behind the band are 11 cuboid monoliths with LED screens at the front and see-through panels at the sides which allow the sides to be lit up. They can move forward or back. According to Matt, it is all controlled by hands and no machines are used in the process of controlling the monoliths.

Due to the tour taking place in outside areas, Muse weren't able to bring in the flying drones, used during the 360 tour. This was done for health and safety reasons, as outside elements would made the drones easier to loose control and fall into the crowd.

Stage design



The Drones Festivals Tour began with Muse headlining at the Glastonbury Festival 2016 on June 24th 2016. It lasted throughout the Summer of 2016, and ended with the Krakow Live festival. The tour included European festivals, plus a special one-off gig at Reykjavik's Laugardalsholl.

Information

The festivals tour began shortly after the arena tour ended, with Muse headlining the Glastonbury Festival for the third time. The setlists of the tour were based around the 360/arena tour sets, but accomodated for the festival stage.

The tour went as planned, however, the Istanbul gig, planned to take place in July, was cancelled for safety reasons, due to a coup attempt in Turkey.

Stage Design/Production

The overall design of the stage was fairly minimalistic, compared to previous festival stage designs, while still providing a visually immersive show. Behind the band were eleven cuboid monoliths, with video screens at the front of each one, and see-through panels at their sides, which allowed them to be lit up from the insides. Each of them was able to move back and forth independently. The monoliths were all controlled by hand, by roadies behind the monoliths. During the Reykjavik gig, the movable monoliths were replaced with a big LED screen due to the size of the stage.

Morgan had his keyboard placed on a movable boom arm, which was connected to Dom's drum riser. Matt's feedback amp, which wasn't present on the 360 tour, returned on stage. The piano was only used for The Globalist, and was always (apart from the last gig), the upright piano. Like the previous tours, confetti and streamers were used during Mercy. Pyro was used once, during the Glastonbury gig, for The Globalist.

Due to the tour taking place in outside areas, Muse weren't able to bring in the flying drones, used during the 360 tour. This was done for health and safety reasons, as outside elements would made the drones easier to loose control and fall into the crowd.
