Speculation on future gigs/tours

[bILLOO]

Hope they play in Japan/Korea early next year; definitely planning to see Muse in Asia rather than Europe this time around now!

i was at the first Foo Fighters gig and first time at the MK Bowl for me. awesome gig and a brilliant location (the bowl in genral not MK!LOL :P) would love MUSE to play there it's set up for a band like that. Knebworth would be cool too

The main thing on my mind isn't where they'll play or what the stage design will be, it's what songs they'll be bringing back for this tour. They always bring a couple of old ones back, even if it's not for long. Maybe Assassin or Invincible?

I'd say possibly Muscle Museum but the only reason they brought back Cave last time was because it was Showbiz's anniversary (and because of Teignmouth).

[Oh Hannah]

I hope they bring back invincible and city of delusion but that's probably asking too much...

Have a feeling they may bring back Apocalypse please. Its nearly Absolutions 10 year anniversary and what with the whole 2012 thing, would seem fitting.
Would love Sing for Absolution too as its one of my favourites.

Ah yeah, forgot about Apocalypse Please. I think that's the one that's most likely to make a return. I want Sing For Absolution badly as well but I think that's less likely.

Taking on whats been said about incorporating 'different' songs from the older albums, does anyone believe they will play longer (20 or so each gig) sets in the arena tour to bring these songs back?

Or is it more than likely to be a straight swap of many of TR songs for new ones from TSL?

Its been done to death, but with 6 albums to fall back on, I think they really should be giving each gig a fair showing of their back catalogue.

To be honest, the only songs we'll regularly see of TR will be (IMO) Uprising, Resistance and maybe USOE/MK Ultra because they'll feel they need to play at least 3 from it as it was their last album. They usually play most of the album they're touring (6-8 songs).

I would think they'll have to extend the setlists by about 3 songs if they don't want complaints.

I would love it If they could alternate Space Dementia/Apocalypse Please/RBS etc in the piano section throughout the tour, presumably along with USoE or a new piano track. Would improve that part so much from the last tour

Also,

Hey...

[Jobby]

Actually, thinking about it:

Songs we are pretty much guaranteed to get from each album:

Plug In Baby

Hysteria
Time Is Running Out
Stockholm Syndrome (Could get put on rotation but oh well)

Supermassive Black Hole
Starlight
Knights Of Cydonia (Again, could get put on rotation but only if there's a new closer from TSL)

Uprising

So, there'll be a couple more songs from TR to balance it out and as it's a recent album. So that's roughly 10 songs, add on about 6/7 from the new album which brings us to about 17 songs. They can't just stick with that so that leaves around 3-4 spots for rotational songs/rarities.

Don't forget it's also the 10th anniversary of Hullabaloo's release so perhaps there's a chance they might bring back something from that? Allright, there's no chance of that happening but how cool would that be?

Correct.

Although i suppose its not out of the question they could use Forced In as an interlude type thing, or maybe play Ashamed or Yes Please riffs after SS/New Born, which would still be fairly awesome

Fuck that. I want SU.

None of the songs on Hullabaloo held much significance though really, it was just a collection of b-sides. The only significant thing about it for them would be that it was their first live album and DVD. I doubt they'd feel the need to celebrate it.

There's always the odd-performance of Dead Star or In Your World.
