[News] Muse Announce European Tour

Following the news of a new Muse album yesterday, the three piece from Devon have now followed it up with a tour announcement.Scheduled for later in 2012 the band will play dates around Europe including the UK. The internet kind of blew up yesterday when the band posted the new teaser mainly because of the dubstep vibe it gave of. I'm still kind of waiting for them to say "ahhh, joke's on you" as these guys are a funny bunch... Or that the snippet we heard is the only dub aspect the album will contain and they've just managed to create a whole lot of buzz with the use of it. You can't judge an album from a 30 second clip so for now we wait to see what the future holds but if you're interested in checking out these guys live you can register interest in the tickets here, which is not on a first come, first served basis.
