Part of The Unsustainable Tour. Night two at Emirates Stadium.

Information

Announced on the 19th of November 2012, Muse performed within Emirates Stadium on the 26th of May 2013, as part of the summer stadium tour. Pre-sale started at 09:30 local time on the 21st, and general sale on the 23rd.

Bellamy jokingly stated on Twitter before the show that at this gig Dead Star and all of Muse's B-sides will be played, as well as Origin of Symmetry backwards.

Although Dizzee Rascal had finished his support set at 19:35, Muse did not come on stage until 20:20.

Butterflies and Hurricanes was played for the first time on the tour and for the first time since 2011.

At the end of the Freedom outro, Matt threw his guitar, the Manson Matt Black VI, into the air twice - first across the stage and second down the catwalk. The impact of the second landing smashed the guitar's body in half. Although this version of the Matt Black was thrown around at the end of Uprising the night before, the guitar did not appear to break.

The set contained six songs from Absolution, which is the highest number of songs played off Absolution since the gig in Buenos Aires on the 24th July 2008 (if Fury is classed as an album track) or since the gig in Bucharest on the 6th October 2007 (if Fury is not classed as an album track).

Songs played during soundcheck (at roughly 3pm) were Map Of The Problematique (with Who Knows Who outro), Interlude, Hysteria, Sunburn and Butterflies And Hurricanes.
