Nine albums and more than thirty million records into a three-decade career, Muse return to The O2 arena touring The Wow Signal.
Muse, the Devon band behind seven consecutive UK number-one albums, play The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Sunday 15 and Monday 16 November 2026. They are touring their tenth album, The Wow Signal.
The band formed in Teignmouth in 1994, and the three members have never changed: Matt Bellamy on vocals and guitar, Chris Wolstenholme on bass, Dominic Howard on drums. Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry set out the sound at the turn of the century, with falsetto, distortion and a piano technique borrowed from Rachmaninov.
Absolution, in 2003, began the run of number-one albums, and Black Holes and Revelations made them a stadium band in 2006. The Resistance in 2009 and Drones in 2015 both won the Grammy for best rock album. They have sold more than 30 million records.
Their subject matter is still conspiracy, surveillance and apocalypse, and the arrangements keep getting larger. The Wow Signal came out on 26 June 2026, trailed by “Nightshift Superstar”.
For a band that has spent a decade filling stadiums, two nights at The O2 are the smaller room, and the live production has always been the point.
