Revision as of 16:03, 17 March 2016

The Drones World Tour officially began on November 17th, 2015 in Palacio de Los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico. Prior to the first concert, Muse have also released an official trailer for the Drones World Tour which can be seen here.



Information

The official beginning of the tour was on November 17th in Mexico City, and the tour will last until summer of 2016.

This is also the first time the band are performing in the middle of the arena on a 360 stage, with the audience surrounding them, giving them a 360 degree audio/visual experience.

According to Matt, this is their version of the famous Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Stage/Production Design

The stage consists of a round circle in the middle of the arena with two runways, spanning across the entire arena, each one with a bigger hammerhead stage on the end. The stage and the runways are low, , so the band can get intimate with the crowd, while the two hammerheads are at stage-level. Located underneath the two hammerheads are the tech bunkers. These smaller b-stages are also equipped with one raiser each (one for Chris and one for Matt and his piano). This is also the first Muse stage to feature no drum raiser, and Morgan's equipment is placed in a bunker/hole lowered into the stage, facing the other direction.

Above the main circle is a tube-shaped LCD screen, displaying some visuals, while other visuals can also be projected on transparent curtains, placed above the runways, which can lower or raise at any time during the concert. The visual aspects of the tour are held by Moment Factory, a Montreal-based new media and entertainment studio, which have worked on tours of various musical artists such as Bon Jovi, Madonna, Imagine Dragons and Nine Inch Nails as well as held their own visual art installations across the world.

The tour also includes 16 custom made self-controlled drones, made in partnership with a Dutch company. These drones are controlled by a custom written computer programs and sensors which help control them are placed around the venues. These drones are, when not in use, "parked" on trusses above the stage. Alongside these 16 drones is a bigger inflatable drone shaped like a military aircraft/drone, hovering above the audience during certain parts of songs such as the end of Reapers, the second part in The Globalist and Revolt.

During Mercy, confetti, shaped like "Drones" stick figures are deployed above the audience.

When the band enters the arena, they're escorted into the arena by the "Revolt" police.

Unlike previous tours, no CO2 streamers are used during or at the end of the show.
