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.
As with the 14th O2 gig, this show was also filmed for the Simulstion Theory Tour Film. It was originally intended for cinema release, but after the Coronavirus Pandemic the decision was made to have the film released digitally with a one day IMAX run. The O2 footage will be combined with cinematic elements to create the full product.
For this show and the previous 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
Before the show, an unindentified person wearing one of the Break It To Me hazmat suits wandered out on stage. As it turned out the actor was on stage to film part of the Simulation Theory Film. In the trailer he was pictured as breaking out of the simulation and arriving in our world.
Third and last performance of The Void to date.
About half of Agitated was played, although in E tuning for the first time on the tour.
