Information
On June 10th 2019, Muse announced three new shows in England. Pre-sales began on Tuesday 11th June & general on sale began on Friday 14th.
After some talk by Matt back in June, about making a proshot of both nights at the O2, the two London shows were filmed. He also said before Dig Down that the show was going to be in cinemas 'next year'. Despite being originally intended for cinema release, After the Coronavirus Pandemic the decision was made to realease it digitally with a one day IMAX run. The O2 footage will be combined with cinematic elements to create the full product.
During the pre-show a person on b-stage appeared in a hazmat suit acting confused, out of place.
During Pray there was crew in audience filming an actor in white clothing being "enlightened" by the song. This was most likely to add to the developing storyline of the film forthcoming.
Before The Void Matt referenced Brian Cox, who directed The Planets, a BBC documentary series about the solar system that The Void was featured in.
For this show and the next there were some noticeable differences in the stage show compared to other indoor gigs. Propaganda was played with the full band on the B-stage for the only time at arena gigs. Matt also wore the LED suit (used for Starlight and Algorithm) for the Metal Medley. It was synced up to the drums and displayed special patterns at various points in the medley. And streamers and Hullaballoons were released during Knights of Cydonia
Thought Contagion had to be restarted due to Matt's guitar being out of tune.
Speech

| Before The Void | Bellamy | "This next one is for any Brian Cox fans out there." |
