Orchestra tour?

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking there will not be an orchestra for Wembley or the other shows. I started thinking they might do a small tour in special venues next year with an orchestra, like RAH in the UK or maybe the Concert Hall in Amsterdam.

 

Would make loads of sense. They wouldn't market it as a normal Muse gig (probably some regs that won't get played) and they have explicitally said they want to play exo...

 

What do you think?

Is it even possible? The logistics would be something horrifying to get an orchestra on tour.

 

The Last Shadow Puppets did a tour with a orchestra if I'm not mistaken. Not sure on the size of the orchestra, but still.

I've still got my hopes up for a possible appearance of an orchestra at Wembley...however, with the concerns of logistics with transporting an orchestra around the country(ies), some nights blocked out at the Royal Albert Hall would be amazing. I think they realise that fans would be prepared to travel for such an event. It's an amazing venue...still my favourite Muse gig.

I'd love this. That being pretty much a dream for me, it'd still be amazing to see it even without playing for it. And it's not like they would need a 100-piece orchestra. They could have maybe 4/5 on each instrument in the strings then random brass/woodwind that they need. Or give those solos to string players just for the heck of it lol.

Perhaps logistically it would be easier to hire an orchestra from each country they're visiting on the tour and then the need for extra trucks/hotel rooms/etc/etc/etc would be minimized to that specific country.

 

I'd definitely pay to go and see it, I actually watched the '08 RAH gig earlier and having an orchestra surrounding them would be incredible :awesome:

That would be awesome!! I think the dates should be:

RAH x2 nights

Concert hall amsterdam

Kürhaus Den haag holland

somewhere in austria

italy

russia

 

You're such a selfish bastard. Letting Muse play 2 times in Holland. Yes I live there too, but it's just retarded to suggest this. Especially with so little gigs. Oh and you're totally forgetting US.

I'm sure there'd be more scope for other venues, depending on how in depth you look.

 

For example, there's not a French or German venue in that list either.

 

I might have a little scout around, just for the fun of it :happy:

I'm sure there's tons of amazing venues in Europe that could host gigs like this but this totally left out the US... and there is plenty of great concert hall venues in the United States.
