GRAMMY® Award-winning English rock titans MUSE have announced an extensive North American amphitheater tour. Promoted by Live Nation, Muse – The Wow! Signal Tour is set to launch on July 5.
Following MUSE’s headlining July 2 appearance at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, The Wow! Signal Tour kicks off Sunday, July 5, at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, MO, then touches down in cities across the United States — dipping briefly into Canada for dates including the Festival d’été de Québec — before wrapping up at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl on Monday, August 31. Along the way, the band will be supported by Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man on select dates, and The Temper Trap on all shows.
MUSE announced The Wow! Signal last week and shared the massive opening salvo of a lead single, “Be With You,” alongside a scene-setting official music video directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS) and starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant).
The cinematic “Be With You” video and its various teasers also hinted at the new album’s themes. The Wow! Signal takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote “WOW!” on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.
