| The Resistance Tour | ← | The 2nd Law Promo Shows | → | The 2nd Law Tour |
A short 9-gig promo tour Muse did in September and October of 2012, in support of their then newly released album, The 2nd Law.
Information
The tour consisted mostly of TV show appearances, two theatre gigs (E-Werk in Cologne and Olympia in Paris) and one festival (iTunes Festival in London). All the gigs except the Saturday Night Live one were held in Europe.
As a promotional tour for The 2nd Law there were some debuts made during the tour. These are: Supremacy, Madness, Panic Station, Animals, Follow Me and Save Me. Prince's cover Sign o' the Times also saw it debut in these shows, played twice in two TV appearances. Note that Survival was already played at the Olympics on August, this gig isn't considered as part of the Promo Shows at all for its special meaning. However, in these gigs Survival was played without being mimed and in its full length for the first time too.
Average Setlist
With the tour being a promo tour, most of the gigs only featured a couple of new songs played. The listed 16-song setlist was only present on gigs in Cologne's E-Werk, Paris's Olympia and the iTunes Festival in London.
- Supremacy
- Interlude + Hysteria
- Panic Station
- Resistance
- Supermassive Black Hole
- Animals
- Time Is Running Out
- Save Me
- Madness
- Uprising (extended outro)
- Follow Me
- Plug in Baby (extended outro)
- Man With a Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia
Encore
Exceptions
- Bliss was played in place of Plug in Baby at the Olympia gig in Paris.
