Information

Muse have performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London in support of The Prince’s Trust charity on Monday 3 December. The gig was announced by the band on 3rd October. Tickets were on sale the 12th October. Tickets were limited to two per person. Ticket resale was limited through Twickets, a fan-to-fan ticket resale platform.

Omaze were holding a sweepstakes competition for The Prince's Trust charity where you could win VIP tickets to the concert, which included the band dedicating a song just to the winner, private tour of the venue and taking a photo together. Flights and 4-star hotel were included. The dedicated song was Uprising.

Algorithm was soundchecked.

The concert was streamed on Instagram, and a bootleg is available on MuseBootlegs (partial due to the bad stream conditions). There was also a radio broadcast of the gig on 13th December on Absolute Radio. Songs that were broadcast are The Dark Side, Uprising, Supermassive Black Hole, Plug in Baby, Thought Contagion, Time is Running Out, Starlight and Knights of Cydonia.

The crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to Chris before Showbiz.

This concert marked the first live performances of Algorithm, Break It To Me and the famous Heavy Rock Songs Medley that Muse talked about a few times in some previous interviews. It was also the first performance of Reapers since 2016 to go beyond the intro/outro.

Final performances of Showbiz and Isolated System to date.
