Information

Confirmed by the band on Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1 on July 3rd, 2017, Muse will be doing an intimate at Shepherds Bush Empire. The show is in aid of The Passage, London’s largest voluntary sector resource centre for homeless and vulnerable people. The last time Muse played on this venue was in 2013.

The show is by request, ticket holders will be able to choose their top ten tracks and all votes submitted will be collated and used to make the setlist for the night.

Voting

Since the show is by request, ticket holders are able to vote for what songs will be on the setlist. Since the announcements, multple Reddit threads and Facebook groups were made to help choose which songs. A well-informed and constructed thread was made on Reddit about how to vote carefully for rare songs.

On July 11th, 2017, ticket holders received emails about the gig and its vote. Each ticket holder received a link to Set the Set, a website where you can vote for songs for the setlist, and a unique code to validate your choices. You could vote for songs in a pre-determined list of 62 songs on the website, at first. Some songs were surprisingly omitted from this list, like Uno, Blackout or Apocalypse Please, who were played recently in 2015-2016. This was fixed the next day on July 12th. Some songs that were never played live or haven't been played for more than 10 years, are on this list, like Invincible, Showbiz, Do We Need This, Nature_1, Map of Your Head, Easily, Glorious or Eternally Missed.

After fixing and adding the missing songs, the list has 83 songs up for voting,
