Information

Announced by the festival on April 18th, 2022, Muse headlined the 2022 edition of Rock in Rio in Lisbon, on June 18th, filling in for original headliners Foo Fighters, who withdrew following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. As such, Muse headlined the festival together with Post Malone, Duran Duran & The Black Eyed Peas.

Dear Sherlock, a well known (but pretty unknown) band in the Muse fanbase played the same day, but on another stage.

This marked the fourth time Muse made an appearance on the festival, four years after their appearance at the last Lisbon edition of Rock in Rio, which took place in 2018. They appeared six times on the Rock in Rio festival overall, last time being in Rio 2019.

The Show

Just before Interlude + Hysteria, Matt’s guitar completely cut out, forcing the band to stall for several moments.

Rain began to pour quite heavily at the end of Compliance, and remained for the rest of the show.

Matt’s vocals were distorted for Time is Running Out’s choruses, marking the first time distortion has been used in the song since the Absolution Tour. Kill or be Killed’s outro featured some additional vocals for the first time.

Supermassive Black Hole featured a non-kaoss pad solo, which is quite a rare occurrence. This also marked the first The Gallery performance without the kaoss pad.

Murph the Robot from the Simulation Theory Tour was brought back. It was lowered onto the stage via wires during Kill or be Killed. The stage set up itself was also changed, with LED lights and a big LED screen behind the band, as opposed to the regular LED strips. Some of the gear was also missing (most notably Dan Lancaster's upper keyboard and tablet). This was because of logistics, with the new inflatable model, Will, along with the band’s regular stage set-up, being prepared for the gig at Isle of Wight Festival, taking place the very next day. Matt went onto to effectively confirm this on his Instagram post here.
