They were the first band to play at and sell out the newly rebuilt stadium. The biggest concert of the tour was the two nights that they played in the new Wembley Stadium on 16 and 17 June 2007. The band then moved to America, playing their biggest North American headline concerts at the time at the Inglewood Forum and the Palacio de los Deportes arena in Mexico City. The South East Asia tour led to the band's biggest tour of Japan and a debut Muse show in South Korea. The band also played sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne before embarking on concerts in South East Asia, Muse's debut concerts. The band were 2nd on the bill at the 2007 Big Day Out Festival, behind headliners Tool. The riser was removed from this production at the end of the European festival shows.īetween the European arena and festival/stadium tours, the band embarked on a tour to Australia and the Far East. This show was modified for the 2007 European festival circuit with the drum-riser and kit moved into centre-stage and a new video screen above the riser, with 4 video 'strips' on stage with 2 either side of the drums. Originally the band wished for the pylon to extend into the audience but lack of money meant this wasn't possible. The new design included a pod-style drum-riser over the top of drummer Dom Howard's drum kit on stage right while above the stage a pair of pylons carrying light-up tubes occupied the roof space and a giant video screen occupied the back wall.

Smaller versions were used for other concerts on the 2006 European Festival circuit, plus on the first two US legs, the first Australian tour and the band's South-East Asian tour.įor the band's main European autumn/winter arena tour, Muse were originally intending to use the same set but changed their set design to a design based upon the H.A.A.R.P. For their Carling Weekend shows the band used a display with neon tubes that had 10 smaller video screens in front, with 5 on the ground and 5 moving behind them. The band's shows throughout the Black Holes and Revelations Tour became noted for their increasing usage of special effects. This tour also included the band's maiden visits to South-East Asian countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, and Latin and South America. The tour saw them travelling over most of the world, including countries such as the UK, most of Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, China and Korea. Following that was a tour that visited most of the world's major continents.

During the summer of 2006 the band played their first series of shows, including a headline appearance at the Leeds and Reading Carling Weekend festivals. The tour opened with a slot at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Dundee, Scotland, Muse's first concert since the Live 8 concerts in July 2005. In July 2006 the band announced that they would be going on their "biggest ever tour" in support of the album. Lasting at over 2 years, this was the band's longest tour to date. Like the best sci-fi blockbusters, this album will have your heart racing up to the very last second.The Black Holes and Revelations Tour was a worldwide concert tour by English alternative rock band Muse in support of their fourth studio album Black Holes and Revelations. The Four Horsemen eventually arrive, galloping into the blistering finale, “Knights of Cydonia”, a “Bohemian Rhapsody” for our darkest of hours. By the album’s climax, all borders seemingly vanish, as the band weaves together Middle Eastern strings, mariachi trumpets, flamenco guitar, classical piano and spaghetti-western twang in its closing trio of tracks. That burning desire for human connection permeates the rest of this roaring epic, even through the militaristic march of “Invincible” and the System of a Down-inspired assault on “Assassin”, in which Bellamy orders for the destruction of “demonocracy”. One track later, on “Map of the Problematique”, the black hole comes to represent the terrifying void of loneliness, paced to the pulse of ‘90s Depeche Mode. But the world can’t end without a stirring love story, and so he quickly slips into the role of romantic lead, aided by the hand-clapping rhythm of “Starlight” and the sexy funk groove of “Supermassive Black Hole”. “Take a Bow” sets the apocalyptic scene with a simmering synth arpeggio that boils over into a forbidding rebel call: “You will burn in hell!” frontman Matt Bellamy bellows into the guitar-squiggling, techno-throbbing chaos.
