Muse have announced a UK and European arena tour for later this year. Find all the details below.

The trio will head out on the road this autumn in support of their 10th studio album, ‘The Wow! Signal’, which is due for release on June 26 via Warner.

Following on from their North American tour with Bloc Party and more this summer, the forthcoming UK leg will kick off with two shows at Manchester’s Co-op Live on November 12 and 13.

Matt Bellamy and co. are then scheduled to play two huge concerts at The O2 in London on November 15 and 16.

From there, Muse will head to Europe for further arena dates in Berlin, Milan, Düsseldorf, Paris, Amsterdam, Montpellier and Zurich throughout the rest of the month and into early December.

Muse launched their new era with an intimate gig at Brixton Academy in April. Here, they debuted the song ‘Cryogen’ – which has since been released as a single – and gave lead track ‘Be With You’ its live debut.

The performance marked the group’s first live performance of the year, and first date in London since their concert at The O2 in autumn 2023. Muse had last played Brixton Academy in 2001, just weeks before the release of their seminal second album ‘Origin Of Symmetry’.

‘The Wow! Signal’ – the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Will Of The People’ – will also feature the recent singles ‘Nightshift Superstar’ and ‘Hexagons’.

Per a press release, the new album takes its title from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century – “a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source”.

“The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it – giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore,” it adds.

The record is said to explore “a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves”.

Earlier this year, frontman Bellamy made a surprise appearance during Anyma’s set at Coachella, where they debuted an unreleased collaborative song titled ‘Carrier Of Souls’.

Muse embarked on a European tour last year, including a headline set at Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival, where the band stepped in for Kings Of Leon.

NME described the show as an “era-spanning, revolutionary space-tacular” with “Bellamy and co. easing into their new cycle with riffs and revolution”.
