Muse Add Second Support Act To UK Stadium Tour Dates

Ahead of their Simulation Theory stadium shows in the UK this June, Muse have announced a second support act for the three huge gigs: Pale Waves.

The Manchester indie-pop band join Rage Against The Machine/Prophets Of Rage guitar hero Tom Morello, who is main support to Matt Bellamy and co. in London, Bristol and Manchester. Yep, this is one incredibly eclectic bill…

Of course, Muse have already been taking their epic Simulation Theory tour across the globe this year (in fact, you can read our review of the New York show in the new issue of Kerrang!), however Matt recently admitted to the Miami New Times that the trio have perhaps gone "too far" with their production.

“Robots do appear at some point in the show, and, you know, they’re pretty threatening,” the frontman said. “I didn’t think we could go this far, but we’ve finally gone too far. At some point, you’ve got to find the limits of what you can do in a rock show. It feels like no-one else is doing that in the world of guitar music. It feels pretty unique at the moment.”
