Muse have revealed what they're going to be up to this year…

Frontman Matt Bellamy and drummer Dom Howard have explained in a short new video that their 2018 will consist of making a bunch of new songs, "probably a new album as well", as well as playing "five or six shows" including massive U.S. festivals Bonnaroo, BottleRock and Carolina Rebellion.
