MUSE Announce North American Tour Behind Upcoming Album The Wow! Signal
One week after revealing their forthcoming tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, GRAMMY® Award-winning English rock titans MUSE are announcing an extensive North American amphitheater tour. Promoted by Live Nation, Muse – The Wow! Signal Tour is set to launch on July 5, with various pre-sales starting Tuesday, March 31, at 12:00 p.m. local time, and general on-sale beginning Friday, April 3, 10:00 a.m. local, at muse.mu. You can find additional information and the band’s full routing below. The Wow! Signal arrives June 26 via Warner Records — pre-order/pre-save HERE.
Following MUSE’s headlining July 2 appearance at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, The Wow! Signal Tour kicks off Sunday, July 5, at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, MO, then touches down in cities across the United States — dipping briefly into Canada for dates including the Festival d’été de Québec — before wrapping up at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowlon Monday, August 31. Along the way, the band will be supported by Bloc Party and Portugal. The Man on select dates, and The Temper Trap on all shows.
MUSE announced The Wow! Signal last week and shared the massive opening salvo of a lead single, “Be With You,” alongside a scene-setting official music video directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS) and starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil,The Occupant). Listen HERE and watch HERE. The announcement was broadcast from space and was widely covered, with buzz from the likes of Pitchfork, NME, Consequence of Sound, Kerrang, and Billboard. “Be With You” was the #1 Most Added at Alternative Radio, debuting at #29 and already trending Top 20, and has earned 3 million global streams in the first week.
The cinematic “Be With You” video and its various teasers also hinted at the new album’s themes. The Wow! Signal takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote “WOW!” on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.
Ahead of “Be With You,” MUSE released the With You docuseries on YouTube collecting intimate stories from their global fanbase filmed during the band’s blockbuster Will of the People Tour. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme’s mum also makes a charming appearance amid the moving vignettes. Watch HERE. In 2025, Muse returned to the road for a summer festival run, which included stepping in for Kings of Leon at Madrid’s Mad Cool — a show NME described as “an era-spanning, revolutionary space-tacular.”
While there’s still little to go on beyond The Wow! Signal’s title, the track list, and lead single, the commonalities therein speak to the forces powering MUSE’s new era: a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, invitation to the pre-show Unravelling VIP Lounge, exclusive VIP merchandise, early entry into the venue & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Beck Announces Ride Lonesome Single & Tour
Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16 at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31 at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21 at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23 at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program.
