Overview
- The Wow! Signal UK/European arena tour, which began on Thursday November 12, opened at Co‑op Live in Manchester with a 15‑song set built around new tracks from the band’s tenth album.
- Muse gave live debuts to multiple new‑album songs including 'The Sickness In You & I' and 'The Dark Forest' while also opening the show with 'Hexagon' and 'Unravelling'.
- The Manchester shows introduced a large‑scale sci‑fi rig — a V‑shaped screen, a UFO‑style stage top, long catwalks, intense lasers and a towering robot used in a dystopian theatrical sequence.
- Setlists mixed fresh material, long‑standing hits and reworked pieces, with at least one extended remix and parts using AI‑processed vocals that highlight ongoing industry conversations about artificial intelligence in music.
- Critics praised The Wow! Signal and the live run as evidence of Muse’s creative resurgence, and the band will continue UK and European arena dates through December 2026 before headlining BST Hyde Park and Roundhay Festival in June 2027.
