The "Will of the People World Tour" is an upcoming headlining tour, set to take place in 2023.
Information
The first gigs of the tour were announced on August 19th, 2022. Four gigs were announced in total, all in the UK, and all appearing to be outdoor stadium gigs. With the tour being called the "World Tour", it is expected that more tour dates in other countries will be announced in the future. Bellamy mentioned, in an interview with Zane Lowe in August of 2022, that the tour is planned to take place between January and July of 2023, starting in Mexico, continuing in the U.S. and Canada, and finishing in Europe.[1]
These first gigs that were announced will take place in Plymouth's Home Park, Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium, Glasgow's Bellahouston Park and Milton Keynes's National Bowl.
The tour will feature Muse's first show in the city of Wiener Neustadt, Austria, and Muse's first performance at Milton Keynes. The last time Muse were at Milton Keynes was during the rehearsals for The Resistance stadium tour in 2010. Additionally, Muse are set to go back to The Hague, Netherlands after almost 23 years, for the show at Malieveld, and Lyon, France, after more than a decade.
The U.S. & Canadian portion of the tour was finally announced on September 29th, 2022. U.S. shows are set to take place indoors, right after the Mexico leg, beginning in Chicago's United Center on February 25th, and closing in Salt Lake City's Vivint Smart Home Arena on April 20th. Two additional gigs in Montreal and Quebec were announced on October 6th, while additional gigs in St. Louis and Oakland were announced on October 17th.
Mexican dates were announced on October 7th, and include stops in Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City, all taking place in January, before the U.S. leg. An additional date in Mexico City was announced on October 27th, 2022.
As with the previous large headlining tour, the Simulation Theory World Tour, this tour will feature indoor, outdoor and festival shows. It is likely (however unconfirmed) that these will, like the Simulation Theory Tour, feature the same show, but configured for arenas, stadiums and festivals.
Supporting acts
For the UK shows (exception being the Glasgow one), Royal Blood were announced as the support band. Royal Blood were also announced as the support band for the rest of the European shows. For the U.S. shows, Evanescence were announced as the support band. Additional support acts for U.S. shows were announced on November 9th, 2022; One Ok Rock will be supporting Muse during the first half of the U.S. leg (between Chicago and Philadelphia gigs), while Highly Suspect will be supporting Muse during the second half of the U.S. leg (between the Phoenix and Salt Lake City gigs).[2] On January 13th, 2023, The Warning were announced as the support act for the Mexico gigs.[3]
So far, it is unknown who will be supporting Muse at Glasgow.
Production
On January 17th, photos and videos of the stage being set up in Mexico surfaced on the internet. Based on these, it seems that, like during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, gigs on the Mexican leg of the tour, and the festival shows, will share their stage setup, being the existing one from the 2022 festivals tour.
It's likely, that productions for both indoor/arena gigs in the United States and outdoor/stadium gigs in Europe, will include its own travelling stage with additional or improved elements to that of the existing festivals setup.
