Forced In was likely first played live sometime in 1998 but probably not for particularly long. Even then, it is only an assumption that Forced In was performed live in this era as it is excluded from all 1997/1998 setlists. Forced In made no known appearances on the Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry tours. A strange, almost-instrumental track, Forced In was likely not high on the list of live candidates. The vocals have never been performed live.

Forced In is the only Showbiz-era song to be debuted after the Showbiz era ended. For the Absolution era, the band would sometimes perform Forced In as an instrumental during some concerts, being performed at most November/December 2003 concerts at the beginning. By the end of March 2004, after being consistently performed at most gigs minus the Australian tour in 2004, the band had stopped performing Forced In. There are no pro shots available of Forced In from the Absolution era, despite it making over thirty appearances.
Forced In made it's first confirmed live appearance in November 2003, and made regular appearances until the end of the year. It continued to be played regularly at the start the following year before being dropped in late-March. All live performances of the song are played instrumentally, with the falsetto vocals omitted.  


For the Black Holes and Revelations tour, Muse breathed new life into Forced In by having it act as the intro to Bliss. This meant that the song was done at most 2006 dates, leading to a high performance count. This would be somewhat short-lived, though, as Forced In would be dropped permanently after only nine performances in 2007. Its spot as an instrumental intro is believed to have been replaced by [[Nishe (live)|Nishe]] starting in 2008.  
The song returned in 2006 for the Black Holes and Revelations tour where it was performed as an intro to [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]]. It was subsequently played at the majority of gigs in 2006, but after just nine appearances in 2007 the song was once again dropped. Its spot as an instrumental intro was more or less replaced by [[Nishe (live)|Nishe]] starting from 2008.  


The track did return in 2010 for the two Wembley Stadium shows in September, however the song was not played live but rather a shortened version was played from tape along with an accompanying video, acting as an intro to Take a Bow, the first song of the second encore. As such it isn't counted as a official live performance.
