Muse Plots Out North American Tour

Muse’s plans for 2013 include a full-scale tour of arenas across North America. The band has announced the first round of dates, which begin in February and feature shows in Canada as well as Detroit; New York City; and East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The U.K. trio has a brand new album to promote. The 2nd Law, its sixth full-length studio effort, was released in North America on Tuesday. The band’s most recent album before that – 2009’s Resistance – was a hit all around the world, reaching No.1 in 19 countries.
