The Globalist (live)

This page contains a list of all known performances of The Globalist.

Analysis and Explanation

Muse held off on playing The Globalist until the Drones 360 World Tour began. Thus, alongside Revolt, it was not played during the 2015 Festival tour. It has been used as the final song of the main set, and as part of the encore. The visuals seen during The Globalist during the North American 2015/2016 tour were particularly impressive, even compared with the other outstanding visuals for the rest of the songs. The song continued to be played in the second leg of the Festivals Tour after the Arena Tour wrapped up but it is unknown whether or not the song will continue to be played due to the song's length and high levels of production. Surprisingly, not only did The Globalist return for 2017, but was performed at most gigs of the year to date.

There are considerably fewer full video shots of the song than others on the album, likely due to its long length. The first televised version of the song was at Glastonbury 2016. During live performances of the song, Chris plays guitar on the intro and bass for the rest.

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.

** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016.
