Speculation on future gigs/tours

[Tesseract]

This. From seeing footage of the band perform on a couple of 360 stages, they don't balance it out well, most of the crowd ends up seeing their backs for most of the show.

 

That and, surely, they'd have to spread the speakers out in different directions so they faced different sections of the crowd instead of them all facing one crowd so the sound would be quieter and have less of a kick to it? I could be wrong, I'm just assuming that's what they would do/would happen.

 

I heard the sound at the U2 shows was pretty terrible. So you might be right, although the terrible sound could be unrelated to the 360 stage.

[Hyper Chondriac Muser6977]

By 'round' I'm guessing you mean they have a 360 stage? Matt has said how he loves having the crowd all around him. Also, not so sure I like the 'big' part, there seemed to be a general consensus on here (which I agree with) that the 'simple' set-up at L/R 2011 was great and should be kept. They really have no need to go bigger.

 

That Zenith thing is interesting also. I wouldn't have thought they'd be announcing gigs just yet though.

 

He's said in at least one interview that he likes those half-circle tiered types of stages though, so hopefully no 360's

 

I agree with simple though, good stage and good visuals are fine for me, no need for much extra props and such

They only need a big screen behind, a smaller screen on either side and some decent lights and you're done, go rock out!

I'm just imagining the Unsustainable part going off and all of that being released at once.

Arena Riga, Latvia. Dec, 13th 2012.

Just a question about the tour dates that are hopefully being announced today; is it possible to kind of "reserve" tickets before they go on general sale? I've been to Muse gigs before but never been the one buying the tickets, and I'm sure a friend of mine reserved them or something before they went on sale. Or did I dream it?

People who subscribe to the mailing list usually get pre-sale codes.

Thanks I thought I was signed up to the mailing list but have never received such a code. Perhaps I'm not signed up to it after all. Is there somewhere on the official site where I could sign up, or check that I am?

Main page, to the right.

Can't believe I didn't see that. Thanks!

Speculation is over

on the dates, that is.

[Sleepybear]

I get to see both Radiohead and Muse within a few weeks of each other at the o2.

 

excellent.

[Buxomflirter Queef]

Ticket prices are ridiculous

[Bumpypotato]

Brilliant I'm hoping for an Aussie tour in early February, but if not it'll most likely be the end of 2013.

[mjartrod]

they're not coming to lisbon.

 

for the first time since 2000 there's not a single tour date in portugal.

Calm down. There's obviously more dates to be announced.

There isn't that much inflation to last time.

Two gigs in Sweden. No doubt making up for the 2010 gig that never was.

You gonna go to both this time or take it slowly? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm actually genuinely curious.

They're in both ends of the country, about 4 hours apart by train. Slightly stressful, but I might do both if I like the album. And frankly I already like it more than TR, but it could still end up being shit.

Still need to add service charge to that though, so it's probably going to end up costing €60
