The 2022 tour, where Muse will be playing festivals around Europe throughout the entire summer, with one stop also in the USA, in autumn. The first tour of the Will of the People era, and first tour in three years, since the pandemic in 2020.
Information
Begining on June 4th, 2022, with a performance at Rock am Ring in Germany, and set to end with the gig at Aftershock Festival, in Sacramento, California, this is, as mentioned above, the first major tour, supporting the album, Will of the People. The tour will include Muse's debut performances at Nova Rock and Aftershock festivals, aswel as performances at the Isle of Wight, Eurockéennes and Rock in Rio Lisbon festivals.
Will of the People and Kill or Be Killed made its live debuts on the tour, with Compliance and Won't Stand Down being played before. Nishe was brought back after 11 years, played before Madness. Behold, The Glove, known during the Simulation Theory World Tour as "STT Interstitial 2" was played again, but with the entire band, and in full.
Production
The show was, in some aspects, similar to the previous tour. Similar to Murph the Robot, the tour featured its counterpart, a large inflatable "masked hacker" figure, which was set up on-stage behind the band, and was present throughout most of the show (excluding the fist few songs). It was revealed during Won't Stand Down. The main difference between the masked hacker and Murph is that the hacker is a lot bigger and bulkier. It's made up of three separate parts: Two shoulders, sitting on each side of the head, which is attached to trussing, rotating left to right slightly. Behind the hacker is a small wall of LED light strips, also attached to top trussing. Lights are also used to illuminate the inflatable figure from different angles.
Also similar to the Simulation Theory Tour is the use of The Power Glove. The difference, however, is, that the glove is now outfitted with a custom synth pad, which Matt uses to play the synth solo of Behold, The Glove on. While doing so, Matt is wearing an LED leather jacket, similar to the jacket worn during the previous tour.
The gigs rely on heavy use of pyro, specifically, fire. The show opens with a large burning "WOTP" monogram logo, placed on a stand behind the band, while the band play the song Will of the People, while flame machines are used throughout the rest of the show.
