Muse Announce North American Tour
(Live Nation) One week after revealing their forthcoming tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, GRAMMY Award-winning English rock titans MUSE are announcing an extensive North American amphitheater tour. Promoted by Live Nation, Muse - The Wow! Signal Tour is set to launch on July 5, with various pre-sales starting Tuesday, March 31, at 12:00 p.m. local time, and general on-sale beginning Friday, April 3, 10:00 a.m. local, at muse.mu.
Following MUSE's headlining July 2 appearance at Milwaukee's Summerfest, The Wow! Signal Tour kicks off Sunday, July 5, at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis, MO, then touches down in cities across the United States - dipping briefly into Canada for dates including the Festival d'ete de Quebec - before wrapping up at Los Angeles' iconic Hollywood Bowl on Monday, August 31. Along the way, the band will be supported by Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man on select dates, and The Temper Trap on all shows.
MUSE announced The Wow! Signal last week and shared the massive opening salvo of a lead single, "Be With You," alongside a scene-setting official music video directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS) and starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil,The Occupant).
The announcement was broadcast from space and was widely covered, with buzz from the likes of Pitchfork, NME, Consequence of Sound, Kerrang, and Billboard. "Be With You" was the #1 Most Added at Alternative Radio, debuting at #29 and already trending Top 20, and has earned 3 million global streams in the first week.
The cinematic "Be With You" video and its various teasers also hinted at the new album's themes. The Wow! Signal takes its name 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.
