Muse announce world tour with dose of virtual reality
Muse announced dates for the Simulation Theory World Tour after teasing cities in September. The tour is in support of their new album, Simulation Theory, out Nov. 9.
Past tours included flying drones in stadium arenas, a 360 degree rotating stage and an interactive pyramid. While we don’t know what theatrical experience the band will unleash upon fans this time, we do know they partnered with Microsoft to sweeten the deal.

Muse are offering an “Enhanced Experience” package. In addition to a front-row seat, you also get access to the Muse Mixed Reality Pre-Show Party, powered by Microsoft.
At the preshow party, you can play three different virtual reality games inspired by songs from Simulation Theory. You can also take pictures with props and memorabilia from the newest music videos. An exclusive show poster and a “Thought Contagion” lunchbox are also included in the package.
Don’t want attend a virtual reality preshow party? You can also get a Premium Ticket Bundle which includes everything but the party. More information about the bundles can be found here.
