Muse in Concert

An amazing show put on by an amazing bandOne of the biggest British bands, Muse is coming to London soon as part of their European tour. On the 10th and 11th of September Muse will be visiting Wembley Stadium, which is sure to see the South West of London rocking out.

The Devon based band started to attract attention in the late 90s with their first EP ad album Showbiz, but it wasn’t until their second studio album Origin of Symmetry where you saw the first glimpse of an experimental and revolutionary band.  Since origin of Symmetry the band has shot to fame produce fantastic tracks such as ‘Time is Running Out’ at ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ and ‘Sing for Absolution’ amongst other hit singles.

Throughout their career Muse are known for their energetic performances and always strive to put on an unforgettable show. The boys seem to like playing back in Britain more than anywhere as well, in a recent interview with Q Magazine, Matt Bellamy (lead singer) was quoted saying, “We’d played some shows in North America and Northern Europe on the tour but it was a different ballgame in Sheffield, a noticeable shift in atmosphere. It was amazing.”

It seems the best place and time to see Muse is when they are touring around Britain and what better place to go than Wembley?
