Perth Music

2007 began with a bang – Muse exploding off stages around the nation as the must-see band on the Big Day Out. Now the year is set to come to a close with a bang so big it’s likely to create an entirely new galaxy – Muse will return in November for their biggest ever Australian tour.

After a Big Day Out set that left even their fellow bands slack-jawed in amazement, Matt Bellamy (vocals/guitar/keys) Chris Wolstenholme (bass/vocals) and Dominic Howard (drums) will now achieve the impossible: something even bigger. Muse are bringing their full-scale stage production to Australia – an epic show of lights, colossal screens, projections, antennas, balloons, and, naturally, giant space chambers.

The UK trio recently road-tested their sublimely ridiculous ideas on 135,000 Brits during a sold-out two-night stand at the new Wembley Stadium. The results: Muse were the first band to sell out the new stadium, and their June performances are already infamous for grand scale and sheer entertainment value.

While their stage set-up provides a direct link to a sci-fi future, the band’s setlist is classic Muse – a hit-heavy, fan-friendly line-up drawing from their first album, 1999’s Showbiz, to their most recent, last year’s Australian No.1, Black Holes and Revelations. Those who saw Muse in January know full well the power of new songs including Map of the Problematique and Invincible, while the likes of Sunburn, Time is Running Out, Plug in Baby and Stockholm Syndrome make up one of the finest and most adventurous catalogues in modern rock.

Just when you thought 2007 couldn’t get any bigger, Muse are back to take it to new heights in the biggest Australian shows of their career to date – to rock infinity, and beyond!
