Hot on the heels of the release of their 10th studio album, ‘The Wow! Signal,’ which is set for release on June 26th, Muse are heading back to UK arenas this November. The trio have announced a pair of arena stops in Manchester and London, alongside shows in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland – while only four dates are taking place in the UK, they’re happening in two of the world’s biggest arenas. If the reaction online is anything to go by, Musers are more than ready for the band’s return.

The Dates
November 2026
12 – Co-op Live, Manchester
13 – Co-op Live, Manchester
15 – The O2, London
16 – The O2, London
Two nights in Manchester, followed by two nights in London. For a band that can quite comfortably fill stadiums and headline premier festivals, the decision to keep these dates to 20,000 capacity rooms feels like a big occasion.
A New Album Alongside the Tour
The tour announcement partners with the upcoming release of Muse’s tenth studio album, ‘The Wow! Signal.’ For most bands, reaching their tenth studio album would lead to a gradual slowing down, but Muse are different. Across two decades, the band have continually reinvented the wheel, moving between alternative rock and electronica with progressive influences and science fiction concepts, sometimes all within the same album. The result is a back catalogue that stands the test of time, one of the most recognisable in British rock.
Back Where Muse Thrive
Muse are certainly known for their records, but it has always been on stage where they truly shine. There are few bands who approach live performance on the same scale as Muse; they’ve built a reputation for turning concerts into audio-visual spectacles, combining towering screens with ambitious production and a setlist engineered for huge crowds.
But even so, for long-term fans and casual listeners alike, there is something extremely special about the band returning to arenas. The closer setting means that fans are more likely to receive a more intense, wilder version of the band than they’re used to seeing headline stadiums or huge festivals.
What Can Fans Expect?
The new album will definitely play a massive role in the setlist, but it’s hard to imagine a Muse show without the likes of “Plug In Baby,” “Hysteria,” and “Supermassive Black Hole” being present too, especially when they’re destined to get the largest crowd reactions of the night.
Muse are known for seamless transitions, so it’s more of a question of how they’re going to merge these new tracks in with the old, rather than if they’re going to be present.
Tickets and Presales
Tickets for the newly announced dates will be released in phases, with presales running ahead of the general sale.
Fans who pre-order The Wow! Signal are expected to receive access to an exclusive album presale, taking place on Wednesday. Co-Op members will receive early access to the Manchester shows, also taking place on Wednesday, where O2 and Virgin Media customers can access the O2 Priority pre-sale for the London shows, taking place at the same time.
With just four UK arena dates currently announced, demand is expected to be significant from the outset.
Why This Feels Like a Major Event
A Muse tour isn’t a common event, especially one at an arena scale; these shows feel surprisingly intimate when you take a look at their previous shows. A new album, a limited number of shows, with four taking place in two of the country’s most prestigious arenas, it feels like a combination that a lot of people are going to be talking about in the next few months.
