Muse Announces ‘The Wow! Signal Tour’ 

Muse has unveiled the routing for an extensive North American amphitheater tour to go along with its upcoming studio album, The Wow! Signal. The English rock band is bringing along Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man on select dates, with The Temper Trap supporting all shows.

Last week Muse announced details about The Wow! Signal – due out June 27 via Warner / Helium-3 – with the news broadcast from space, and also released the lead single, “Be with You.” The official music video for the track is directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS) and stars Ella Balinska (Resident Evil,The Occupant). 

An announcement from Muse’s team notes that the album “takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’” and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.”

The announcement adds that, “While there’s still little to go on beyond The Wow! Signal’s title, the track list, and lead single, the commonalities therein speak to the forces powering MUSE’s new era: a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves.”

Muse’s North American tour plans start with a July 2 appearance at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, followed by a July 5 headline show at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis. Stops include Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center, Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion, Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheatre, Festival d’été de Québec and a final gig at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl on Aug. 31.

Tickets for the non-festival dates will be available via various presales starting Tuesday, March 31, at 12 p.m. local time, and the general onsale begins Friday, April 3 at 10 a.m. local at muse.mu.
