Muse concert chronology

The Drones World Tour[1] is an ongoing worldwide concert tour by the English rock band Muse. Staged in support of the band's 2015 album Drones, the tour will visit arenas and festivals throughout 2015 and is the tenth concert tour the band has carried out. It began on 23 May 2015 in Norwich, England at the BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. The tour has grossed $23M from 34 shows as reported by Pollstar's 2015 year-end Top 100 worldwide tours.[2]

Rehearsals

Rehearsals for the Drones festival tour took part in late April and were held in Air Studios, where Muse previously rehearsed for the Origin of Symmetry anniversary concerts at Reading and Leeds festivals, and where Muse also recorded Absolution and parts of The 2nd Law and Drones.

European Festivals

Muse played various festivals around Europe on the first leg of the tour, which started May 23. This leg of the tour also included Muse's debut performance at Download Festival, which they also headlined.

Drones Arena Tour

Middle stage of the Drones Arena Tour, featuring the drones used in the show.

Matt Bellamy has confirmed that Muse will be touring North America later in 2015, and Europe in 2016. The band has said that they will be touring in arenas. The stage setup is an 'in-the-round' setup, with a circular stage in the middle, similar to U2's 360 Tour, with catwalks on either end of the stage. Bellamy has also said that they will be flying drones over the audience during the shows. This set up was first used on November 17 in Mexico City at the start of the band's North America tour. The Arena tour dates prior in South America and Asia the band used their festival production.

The show begins with spherical drones being launched from a space station-style grid at the top of arenas, and they later re-appear during the course of the concert. There are also retractable video screens using projection, a spherical 360 screen over the main central stage, and a giant inflatable device designed to look like a Reaper drone.

However, the show has had technical difficulties. Two concerts in San Diego & Las Vegas were rescheduled due to "technical and logistical" challenges, while the drones were not used at at all in three gigs, and one gig in Detroit saw several drones fail simultaneously.
