MUSE HOLD COURT
The band play a stormer at Earl's Court....
MUSE opened their two-night stand at LONDON EARL’S COURT in dramatic style last night (December 19).
The band are rounding up the touring campaign for their ‘Absolution’ album – which saw them headline Glastonbury, T In The Park and V Festivals – with their biggest indoor shows to date.
Supported by The Secret Machines and [a][/a], the band played a set that took in their three albums.
Wearing a full-length red suit, frontman Matt Bellamy kept the talking to a minimum, simply saying "We’ve been Muse by the way. What can I say? Merry Christmas!"
As the band returned to the stage for the encore, a barrage of giant beach balls filled with balloons were fired into the crowd, before a shower of tickertape rained on the crowd during the final ‘Stockholm Syndrome’.
The setlist was:
’Hysteria’
’Butterflies And Hurricanes’
’Newborn’
’Sing For Absolution’
’Muscle Museum’
’Citizen Erased’
’Ruled By Secrecy’
’Sunburn’
’Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist’
’TSP’
’’Time Is Running Out’
’Plug-In Baby’
’Bliss’
’Dead Star’
’Micro Cuts’
’Apocalypse Please’
’Stockholm Syndrome’
The band return to Earl’s Court tonight.
