The often-maligned Guiding Light appeared on both The Resistance and The 2nd Law tours. Unlike most other non-singles off of The Resistance, Guiding Light was performed several times on the 2011 tour. Though it was not played particularly often, Guiding Light returned for The Unsustainable Tour in 2013, most likely because it was Matt's girlfriend's at the time, Kate Hudson, favourite Muse song. Fans began to deride Guiding Light even more because of this tour and it has not been performed since, likely due to it being completely different from the theme of the Drones tour.
Guiding Light was performed regularly during The Resistance Tour, appearing at most shows in 2009 and around half of the shows during 2010. It also had a few appearances in 2011. It made no appearances in 2012 but returned in mid-2013 during The Unsustainable Stadium Tour and made regular appearances at arena and festival shows afterwards until the end of the year. These performances saw Matt and Chris share guitar duties, while the bass part was played on synths by Morgan, and Dom played his electronic kit. It was dropped at the end of 2013 and hasn't been played since.  


Guiding Light was soundchecked at a few early 2016 European gigs and, alongside Sing for Absolution, Defector and Aftermath, assumed to be up for setlist consideration. Despite this, Guiding Light was not performed live on the Drones tour.
The song was reportedly sound-checked at a few early-2016 European gigs but was ultimately not played. However, it was a setlist option at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by request gig, indicating the band hasn't given up on the song yet.
