Muse unveil new single Will Of The People, announce special run of theatre gigs

Ahead of the release of their ninth album Will Of The People on August 26, Muse have shared the record's title-track.

Says Matt Bellamy of the meaning behind the new single: “Will Of The People is fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought ‘fuck this’.”

The band have also announced a limited run of theatre gigs following May's intimate charity shows in London.

“We had such a good time at our recent charity shows at the Apollo in London last month we wanted to play some of these types of smaller theatres that we hadn’t played for a long time in the U.S and Europe before we head out on tour in 2023,” explains Matt.
