Muse Tour To Feature Upside Down Pyramids, Kung Fu And Dancing Aliens

Space rock icons Muse are heading out on tour later this month, in support of their brand new album ‘The 2nd Law’. So, what can you expect from the futuristic, far-out, stadium-filling rockers? Dancing aliens, upside down pyramids, and kung-fu of course!
Clearly anticipating their up and coming live ventures, drummer Dom Howard excitedly told BBC Newsbeat what fans have in store when they hit UK venues later this year - and it sounds like they’ve got an incredible live show lined-up.
“On stage we’re going to have these huge upside-down pyramid which can turn itself inside out, it represents the power hierarchy turned on its head,” Howard revealed. “I’m going to do some kung fu and fend off some businessmen, who are losing their minds as they realize they’ve lost everyone’s money.”
“We made this huge upside down pyramid, which is made out of LED screens so we can put visuals on it. Basically this screen moves and can morph into different shapes. It will come down and completely consume me on my drum kit.”
Howard added that there’d also be ‘dancing aliens’, and went on to talk about how much actual human performance will be involved with their shows, saying: “People will pay money to see someone with a laptop who's done all the experimentation at home and pretty much just hits the space bar. There is a part of us that is definitely clinging to the organic, human side of music, to honour our friendship and the fact that we want to play together in a room.
“We're not afraid to bring new elements into the equation but we're not quite prepared to go full robot. I think we're kind of cyborgy!”
