Information

Official Store pre-sale started Tuesday 13 November 2018, and general on sale started Friday 16.

Tiger Cave and Kiefer Sutherland were announced as supporters the 16th May 2019.

This was the biggest stadium Muse played at during the tour, alongside the San Siro and Stade de France (80.000 seats).

The Show

Towards the end of Psycho, Chris erroneously played the bridge section instead of the pre-solo section which threw Matt and the rest of the band off. As such, they improvised for a few more bars before leading back into the solo. (watch the moment here)

Bliss was dedicated to Marc Carolan who had his birthday, and Starlight was dedicated to Marina Morozova, a Hollywood resident who died in 2018 after being hit by a car.
