== Production ==
== Production ==


As with the previous large headlining tour, the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], this tour features indoor, outdoor and festival shows. On January 17th, [https://www.instagram.com/italian.musers/ photos and videos of the stage being set up in Mexico surfaced on the internet]. Based on these, it seems that, like during the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] in 2019, gigs on the Mexican leg of the tour, and the festival shows, will share their stage setup, being the existing one from the [[Will of the People Festivals Tour|2022 festivals tour]].
As with the previous large headlining tour, the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], this tour features indoor, outdoor and festival shows. The stage set-up in general is a hybrid between the [[Will of the People Festivals Tour|2022 festivals tour]] and the [[Will of the People Theatre Tour|autumn theatre tour]] setups. It includes an inflatable rotating figure of Will the Hacker as a backdrop, together with a grid of light fixtures, similar to the one from the theatre tour. Joining Will the Hacker is a new figure nicknamed "Baph".
 
The festival setup (which was also used during the Mexican leg of the tour) bears more resemblance to the 2022 summer festivals setup, with the only major difference being an addition of the lighting grid, replacing the LED strip lights behind the band. An inflatable figure of Will is present throughout the entire show, including the encore, while the setlists themselves (exceptions being the Mexican shows) include no rotations, and are more akin to the 2022 summer festivals setlists
 
The indoor setup, which premiered at the North American leg, features a stage with transparent floor, allowing for it to be illuminated from below, with an addition of a larger B-stage, six moving glass panels with lights, hung above the band, more lights on the back-grid, and, as mentioned above, an inflatable figure named "Baph", joining "Will", getting inflated for the encore. Because of the differences, the setlists for the North American shows also got "revamped".
 
The stage for the European outdoor setup had the same core of elements as the indoor arena setup , with an addition of two stage wings on either side, aswell as larger LED screens on both sides of the stage, equipped with light fixtures. It also featured a longer runway to the B-stage, with the B-stage itself being slightly bigger than it was for the indoor shows. "Will" is now equipped with a LED screen inside of his mask, an exclusive to the stadium/headlining shows, as festivals still use the older and smaller version of the figure. The full outdoor set up was officially revealed on Muse's Instagram<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Csuf6rlqKCS/</ref>, a day prior to the first gig in [[Plymouth Home Park 2023 (gig)|Plymouth]], on May 26th, after pictures and videos of the stage being set up surfaced on social media a few days before.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CsZn26TSifb/</ref>
 
== Short tour documentaries ==
 
A series of short documentaries is set to be released throughout the tour itself, shot and edited by Muse's new tour photographer Johann Ramos (more known as "The Work of Jar") and Centreline Films, posted on Muse's YouTube channel.  


It's likely, that productions for both indoor/arena gigs in the United States and outdoor/stadium gigs in Europe, will include its own travelling stage with additional or improved elements to those of the festivals setup.
Six documentaries have been released so far. [https://youtu.be/Au-OjJ5O5lQ The first one] is a recap of the first leg of the tour in Mexico, the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZVMH87_XTs second one] goes over the rehearsals, which took place in California's Ontario, aswell as the Chicago show. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nrQiQ1WbEo third one] looks back at week one of the U.S. leg of the tour, the fourth one talks about the homecoming Plymouth show, and week one of the European leg, can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85dSzZIhd2w&ab_channel=Muse here]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9TKpDpCOnY&ab_channel=Muse fifht one] shows various clips and highlights from the European stadium tour. The [https://youtu.be/ScTnIkgxE60 sixth] features Matt talking about Kill or Be Killed, while showing pre-show backstage footage.

== Average Setlist ==


=== Exceptions ===
During the January leg in Mexico, the setlist remained relatively unchaged from the shows off of the 2022 festivals tour. This changed with leg 1 in the U.S., starting in [[Chicago United Center 2023 (gig)|Chicago]], in February, when the show was updated, in turn bringing in a new setlist format. This first indoor leg in the U.S. brought in live premieres of [[Verona (song)|Verona]] and [[The Dark Side (song)|The Dark Side (Alternate Reality Version) (Instrumental)]]. STT Interstitials 1 and 3 returned as [[Simulation Theory Theme (Matthew Bellamy song)|Simulation Theory Theme]], which was played from tape, mashed up with [[JFK (song)|[JFK]]], acting as an intro to Kill or Be Killed. Additionally, [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]]'s Felsmann + Tiley Reinterpretation version was played from tape, as an interstitial, before Compliance. Also returning after several years were [[Resistance (song)|Resistance]], [[Undisclosed Desires (song)|Undisclosed Desires]] and the shortened version of [[Isolated System (song)|Isolated System]]. [[Assassin (song)|Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses)]] was also played, making this the second big headlining tour to feature Assassin, played in full since the [[Black Holes And Revelations Tour]], with it previously being only played during [[The Drones World Tour 2015/16]].
 
With the announcement of the [[Absolution (album)|Absolution XX Anniversary]] boxset in September of 2023, the band looks to have put an emphasis on songs off of the album during the indoor autumn leg in the UK and Ireland, with both [[Butterflies & Hurricanes (song)|Butterflies & Hurricanes]] and [[Apocalypse Please (song)|Apocalypse Please]] played on the first night of the leg in [[Dublin 3Arena 2023 (gig)|Dublin]]. Both songs were played for the first time in 6 years and 7 years respectively. During the leg, [[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]] replaced Kill or Be Killed in its slot in [[Manchester AO Arena 2023 (gig)|Manchester]]. [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]] also made a return.

=== Notes & Exceptions ===
 
* During the four Mexican shows, rotation slots got swapped around the setlists. Generally, the setlists for these shows were more or less the same to these of the [[Will of the People Festivals Tour]].
* With the start of the U.S. tour, the production was updated, in turn also changing the setlists - Scrambling songs on the setlist and changing its template, replacing [[The Gallery (song)|The Gallery]] with [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed (Felsmann + Tiley Remix)]] and adding songs like [[Verona (song)|Verona]], [[The Dark Side (song)|The Dark Side (Alternate Reality Instrumental)]] and [[Isolated System (song)|Isolated System]] to the sets.
* A few gigs into the U.S. leg, [[Undisclosed Desires (song)|Undisclosed Desires]] was put into rotation with [[Resistance (song)|Resistance]].
* [[Liberation (song)|Liberation]] was in rotation with [[Verona (song)|Verona]] on double nights during the NA leg of the tour, which were only the second night of both Quebec City and Montreal. Verona was dropped for the UK indoor leg with [[Apocalypse Please (song)|Apocalypse Please]] and [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]] played in rotation in its place.
* The Shaky Knees Festival gig featured a shorter setlist with a few changes compared to the indoor gig setlists; [[Thought Contagion (song)|Thought Contagion]] was played earlier in the set, [[Isolated System (song)|Isolated System]] was played before [[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]] and [[The Dark Side (song)|The Dark Side (Alternate Reality)]]'s instrumental version and [[JFK (song)|JFK]] / [[Simulation Theory Theme (Matthew Bellamy song)|Simulation Theory Theme]] intro were ditched from the set. The same setlist was played at the NorthSide festival in Denmark.
* For the stadium shows, [[Resistance (song)|Resistance]] and [[Undisclosed Desires (song)|Undisclosed Desires]] were brought out of rotation and were both played at each show.
* The stadium shows also feature less songs in the first rotation slot, these being [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]] and [[Map of the Problematique (song)|Map of the Problematique]] (with the latter only being played three times so far). [[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]] joined the two at the [[Rome Stadio Olimpico 2023 (gig)|Rome]] gig.
* [[Showbiz (song)|Showbiz]] was played instead of [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] at the [[Werchter Festivalpark Werchter 2023 (gig)|Werchter Festival]] gig after technical issues meant the latter song couldn't be played. This made it the first gig in which all 9 studio albums were represented.

The Will of the People World Tour is the current headlining tour, set to take place in until the summer of this year.

Information

The first gigs of the tour were announced on August 19th, 2022. Four gigs were announced in total, all in the UK and all outdoor stadium gigs. As expected, more tour dates were announced throughout the following months, leading up to the tour itself. Bellamy mentioned, in an interview with Zane Lowe in August of 2022, that the tour is planned to take place between January and July of 2023, starting in Mexico, continuing in the U.S. and Canada, and finishing in Europe.[1]

Mexico

Mexican dates were announced on October 7th, 2022. The tour included stops at Monterrey's Estadio Banorte, Guadalajara's Arena VFG and Mexico City's Foro Sol, spreading over two dates, on both 22nd and 23rd of January. The additional date in Mexico City, on 23rd, was announced on October 27th, 2022.

The short Mexican leg took place before the U.S. legs.

United States & Canada

Taking place after the short Mexican leg, U.S. and Canada legs exclusively featured indoor shows, with the only exception being the gig at Shaky Knees festival in Atlanta. Most tour dates were announced on September 29th, 2022. Two additional gigs in Montreal and Quebec were announced on October 6th, while additional gigs in St. Louis and Oakland were announced on October 17th.

The tour featured two legs and one "lone" show. The first leg began at Chicago's United Center on February 25th, and ended at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on March 19th. The second leg started with the show at Phoenix's Desert Diamond Arena on April 2nd, ending with a gig at Salt Lake City's Vivint Smart Home Arena. The final show in the U.S. took place on May 6th, at the afforementioned Shaky Knees festival.

Europe

Stadium gigs

As mentioned above, the first gigs of the tour that were announced were the UK gigs. These took place in Plymouth's Home Park on May 27th, Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium on June 20th, Glasgow's Bellahouston Park on June 23rd and Milton Keynes's National Bowl on June 25th. The rest of the tour was announced afterwards. Additional European dates have been announced on January 20th, 2023, including the first show of the tour in Spain, in Santander's El Sardinero on July 4th, and a gig at Nancy's Zénith amphitheatre on July 6th, where they be played a headlining show, as part of the Nancy Open Air festival.

The rest of the European dates were announced soon afterwards. The European features Muse's first shows in the cities of Wiener Neustadt, Austria and Santander, Spain. Additionally, the show at Milton Keynes's National Bowl was Muse's first live show at the site. The last time Muse were at Milton Keynes before, was during the rehearsals for The Resistance stadium tour, in 2010. Additionally, Muse played in the city of The Hague, Netherlands after almost 23 years, and Lyon, France after about a decade.

The European tour featured an indoor production, scaled for an outdoor gig, and included both stadium and festival shows.

Arena gigs

On June 26th, the band announced indoor arena gigs for the UK and Ireland in autumn, with Nova Twins supporting.[2] The gigs announced are set to take place in Dublin's 3Arena on September 27th, Manchester's AO Arena on September 29th and London's The O2 on October 1st and 2nd.

Travel packages

Three travel packages were available to buy for three dates off of the European leg of the tour; Cologne (June 9th), Paris (July 8th) and Milan (July 22nd). Each travel package included, together with two tickets, a two-night stay at a hotel (king or twin bed rooms options are available). Hotels which were included are Cologne's Pullman, Paris's Marriott Ambassador and Milan's Marriott. An optional third night add-on was also included in each package, for additional cost. Additionally, two exclusive posters, commemorating Muse's performance at each venue in the city (RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Stade de France in Paris and San Siro in Milan) were included in each travel package, as were on-site hosts, and, for the Cologne gig, a roundtrip fare on the metro to the stadium.

More on the travel packages can be seen here.

Asia

After being teased on February 16th by the band on social media, the band announced the only Asian gig of the tour in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, on February 22nd. The open-air gig took place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on 29th July 2023.[3][4] The show marked the first Muse gig that took place in the country since 2007.

Supporting acts

Thje first support act to be announced were Royal Blood, who opened for Muse during the European open-air leg (exceptions being the Nancy and Glasgow gigs, aswell as festivals). For the U.S. shows, Evanescence were announced as the main opening act. Additional support acts for U.S. shows were announced on November 9th, 2022; One Ok Rock supported Muse during the first half of the U.S. leg (between Chicago and Philadelphia gigs), while Highly Suspect will be supporting Muse during the second half of the U.S. leg (between the Phoenix and Salt Lake City gigs).[5] On January 13th, 2023, The Warning were announced as the support act for the Mexico gigs.[6]

On March 22nd, both The Warning and One Ok Rock were announced as additional support acts for select European dates. The Warning supported Muse on the U.K. leg (plus one stop in Lyon, France), while One Ok Rock supported them on the rest of the European leg (excluding festivals, and the Glasgow gig). Joining the two is Twin Atlantic, who opened together with The Warning on the afforementioned Bellahouston Park gig in Glasgow.[7] A support change was made for the gig in Bern, Switzerland, as One Ok Rock couldn't perform at due to unforeseen circumstances; Replacing them was Emilie Zoé. Kyoto Protocol were announced as the support act for the Kuala Lumpur gig only a few weeks before the show itself, on July 11th, 2023.

On June 26th, alongside the annoucement of the UK and Ireland indoor gigs, Nova Twins were announced to be supporting Muse on these gigs.[8]

Production

As with the previous large headlining tour, the Simulation Theory World Tour, this tour features indoor, outdoor and festival shows. The stage set-up in general is a hybrid between the 2022 festivals tour and the autumn theatre tour setups. It includes an inflatable rotating figure of Will the Hacker as a backdrop, together with a grid of light fixtures, similar to the one from the theatre tour. Joining Will the Hacker is a new figure nicknamed "Baph".

The festival setup (which was also used during the Mexican leg of the tour) bears more resemblance to the 2022 summer festivals setup, with the only major difference being an addition of the lighting grid, replacing the LED strip lights behind the band. An inflatable figure of Will is present throughout the entire show, including the encore, while the setlists themselves (exceptions being the Mexican shows) include no rotations, and are more akin to the 2022 summer festivals setlists

The indoor setup, which premiered at the North American leg, features a stage with transparent floor, allowing for it to be illuminated from below, with an addition of a larger B-stage, six moving glass panels with lights, hung above the band, more lights on the back-grid, and, as mentioned above, an inflatable figure named "Baph", joining "Will", getting inflated for the encore. Because of the differences, the setlists for the North American shows also got "revamped".

The stage for the European outdoor setup had the same core of elements as the indoor arena setup , with an addition of two stage wings on either side, aswell as larger LED screens on both sides of the stage, equipped with light fixtures. It also featured a longer runway to the B-stage, with the B-stage itself being slightly bigger than it was for the indoor shows. "Will" is now equipped with a LED screen inside of his mask, an exclusive to the stadium/headlining shows, as festivals still use the older and smaller version of the figure. The full outdoor set up was officially revealed on Muse's Instagram[9], a day prior to the first gig in Plymouth, on May 26th, after pictures and videos of the stage being set up surfaced on social media a few days before.[10]

Short tour documentaries

A series of short documentaries is set to be released throughout the tour itself, shot and edited by Muse's new tour photographer Johann Ramos (more known as "The Work of Jar") and Centreline Films, posted on Muse's YouTube channel.

Six documentaries have been released so far. The first one is a recap of the first leg of the tour in Mexico, the second one goes over the rehearsals, which took place in California's Ontario, aswell as the Chicago show. The third one looks back at week one of the U.S. leg of the tour, the fourth one talks about the homecoming Plymouth show, and week one of the European leg, can be seen here. The fifht one shows various clips and highlights from the European stadium tour. The sixth features Matt talking about Kill or Be Killed, while showing pre-show backstage footage.

Average Setlist

During the January leg in Mexico, the setlist remained relatively unchaged from the shows off of the 2022 festivals tour. This changed with leg 1 in the U.S., starting in Chicago, in February, when the show was updated, in turn bringing in a new setlist format. This first indoor leg in the U.S. brought in live premieres of Verona and The Dark Side (Alternate Reality Version) (Instrumental). STT Interstitials 1 and 3 returned as Simulation Theory Theme, which was played from tape, mashed up with [JFK], acting as an intro to Kill or Be Killed. Additionally, Kill or Be Killed's Felsmann + Tiley Reinterpretation version was played from tape, as an interstitial, before Compliance. Also returning after several years were Resistance, Undisclosed Desires and the shortened version of Isolated System. Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses) was also played, making this the second big headlining tour to feature Assassin, played in full since the Black Holes And Revelations Tour, with it previously being only played during The Drones World Tour 2015/16.

With the announcement of the Absolution XX Anniversary boxset in September of 2023, the band looks to have put an emphasis on songs off of the album during the indoor autumn leg in the UK and Ireland, with both Butterflies & Hurricanes and Apocalypse Please played on the first night of the leg in Dublin. Both songs were played for the first time in 6 years and 7 years respectively. During the leg, Stockholm Syndrome replaced Kill or Be Killed in its slot in Manchester. Space Dementia also made a return.
