Information
Muse headlined alongside with Korn this 5th edition of the Dubai Desert Rock festival.
Announced by the Muse website on the 25th of January.[2] The band had been planning to visit Dubai on holiday and so decided to pay for the holiday by performing at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival.[5] The festival was promoted by Center Stage Management.[1]
The Show
Apparently the band rehearsed Uno prior to the gig, playing it for the first time in five years. They then ran through it a second time in a very fast motion, with one of the band members writing online how much they enjoyed this.[6]
Last performance of Man of Mystery to date.
Speech
| After Hysteria | Bellamy | "Hey Dubai, how're you doing?"[7] |
| After Fury | "Thanks very much, cheers". | |
| After Take a Bow | "Thank you Dubai! We love you". | |
| Howard | "You guys rock Dubai, thank you. You guys are cool. See you next time, take care, cheers". |
