dates in South America
in spring 2011 and also played further European shows in the summer of 2011.
" was confirmed for 4 and 5 September. The concerts were the first in the band's childhood hometown of Teignmouth
, Devon
in over ten years, as well as the first shows since the band's appearance at V Festival
in August 2008 and since the completion of The Resistance
. The performances included the debut appearances of five songs from the upcoming album, including lead single "Uprising
", "Undisclosed Desires" and title track "Resistance".
The band also performed a small number of shows at other venues in Europe
, before they supported Irish rock band U2
for nine dates on the North American leg of their 360° Tour
in September and October and in South America in March and April 2011.
quoted the band as saying "We are coming up with a different and exciting stage set and production which will encompass our fans," suggesting that the stage will be placed in the middle of each arena, with the audience surrounding the band, a technique first used by prog-rock band Yes
in 1978. On 22 July, via their Twitter
page, the band revealed that they were "working on set design," hinting at fans to "Expect an 8" stone 'enge
"." In September 2009, the BBC
quoted drummer Dominic Howard
as revealing that the band members will "be on these three pillars moving up and down," adding that "There might be a loose narrative that we're trapped in some kind of institution and we're trying to break out of it," which he promises will "look impressive." Music website Drowned in Sound
also spoke to Howard, publishing the following quotes regarding stage setup:
For the stadium performances, the band changed the set design completely. Like the arena tour, the design was based on the book 1984 by George Orwell but this time the new design featured the band on a triangular-pyramid shaped stage. The stage was designed and built by the Belgian
company Stageco
(who also designed the stage for U2's
360° Tour
) . It features a ball on the top which is said to be the "All Seeing Eye" from the book 1984. On the pyramid itself there are separated blocks, with most of them being screens which project animations and also turn inside out occasionally. There is a catwalk-like structure leading from the front of the stage into the crowd, with an elephant lift at the end which moves 10m in the air and 15m forward, with space for 3 people. This so-called elephant lift would rise into the air and over the audience during performances of Undisclosed Desires
and Take a Bow (the latter of which involved frontman Matthew Bellamy
wearing an LED
suit). During performances of "Exogenesis Symphony: Part I - Overture" a U.F.O is released into the crowd with an acrobat hanging from the rear of it reaching for the people. However this has not been used in all stadium performances.
The bands festival performances have also been different to both of these two stages. For the shows in Australisia in early 2010 and the headline appearance at Coachella the band used 3 video strips in a similar arrangement to the top halves of the pillars but on the back wall of the stage. The festival stage was redesigned for the 2010 European festival shows with 3 groups of hexagonal video screens on the back wall of the stage and different visuals to those used earlier in the year for some songs, although for one show in Latvia and two shows in Asia Muse used only one solo screen. Also on one occasion, the UFO was used, in Germany. For the band's headlining set at Glastonbury Festival 2010, U2 guitarist The Edge was invited on stage to play Where The Streets Have No Name with Muse, seeing as U2 cancelled their slot the previous day due to Bono's back injury from rehearsals.
, with the main set ending with either Unnatural Selection or Plug in Baby
and an encore consisting of Exogenesis: Symphony
Part 1 (Overture), Stockholm Syndrome (song)
and Knights of Cydonia
concluding the set. However, towards the end of the tour, Exogenesis Part 1 would sometimes be used as an opener. Also at these shows, Knights of Cydonia would be performed early in the set, signaling the first time this song would not be used as a concert opener or closer since 2006. Uprising would also be played to similar effect at these shows, with that also only being performed as the opening song in concerts prior to the ones opening with Exogenesis Part 1.
Concerts taking place within arenas would include roughly between 16-18 songs on average, while stadium shows were roughly 21 songs long. The setlists for most of the tour however were criticised by most fans, who claimed the shows were too short or did not include a huge variety of older songs, particularly during the North American legs.

concluding the set. However, towards the end of the tour, Exogenesis Part 1 would sometimes be used as an opener. Also at these shows, Knights of Cydonia would be performed early in the set, signaling the first time this song would not be used as a concert opener or closer since 2006. Uprising would also be played to similar effect at these shows, with that also only being performed as the opening song in concerts prior to the ones opening with Exogenesis Part 1.
Concerts taking place within arenas would include roughly between 16-18 songs on average, while stadium shows were roughly 21 songs long. The setlists for most of the tour however were criticised by most fans, who claimed the shows were too short or did not include a huge variety of older songs, particularly during the North American legs.
