Muse have been announced to headline London’s BST Hyde Park alongside sister event Roundhay Festival in Leeds in summer 2027.
The Devonshire space-rock trio released their acclaimed 10th album ‘The Wow! Signal‘ back in June before embarking on a lengthy North American tour this summer. Now, just ahead of them kicking off their run of UK and European arena dates this week – with a production they’re shared will be much more ambitious – Matt Bellamy and co have announced two massive gigs for next June.
As part of a busy summer schedule headlining festivals across Europe, now they’ll be topping the bill at London’s BST Hyde Park with support from Nothing But Thieves and Chvrches on Saturday June 26, before NBT join them again for Muse’s headline show at Leeds’ Roundhay Festival on Sunday June 27. The full line-up for both dates will be revealed across the coming months.
Tickets for both shows are on sale via an Amex pre-sale from 10am today (Monday November 9) before an artist pre-sale from 10am on Wednesday November 11, an AEG pre-sale from 10am on Thursday November 12 and a general ticket sale from 10am on Friday November 13.

Other acts confirmed to headline BST Hyde Park 2027 include Bon Jovi and RAYE, with more to be revealed in the coming months.
These events also falls across Glastonbury weekend, meaning that if Muse were to return to headline the Worthy Farm festival for a third time, it could only be on Friday June 25. Other rumoured headliners include Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Fontaines D.C., The Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift.
Nothing But Thieves supported Muse on their 2019 UK arena tour for ‘Simulation Theory‘, while Matt Bellamy and co have been open fans of Chvrches having covered their early single ‘Lies’ in the BBC Radio One Live Lounge in 2015 and having ‘Clearest Blue’ as the last song played over the speakers before they come on stage at recent shows.
Muse’s 2026 UK and European arena dates will kick off in Manchester on Thursday (November 12), with fans told to expect another typically out of this world stage show.
Speaking to NME about the inspiration behind the new LP – which sees the trio tackle more personal subject matter compared to their previous releases – frontman Matt Bellamy shared their vision for the upcoming live shows, and explained that they were looking into making a “spaceship” in time for the winter arena run
“We’re trying to build a spaceship – as you do,” he told us. “The quote came in and it’s more expensive than some of these houses [in Primrose Hill], and that’s saying something around here.”
“We’re trying to work with that, build a spaceship, do some new stuff with lasers that’s never been done before, and yeah, it will be a classic,” the frontman added. “It’s going to be more in the space, sci-fi realm, which I think is cool for us.”
The idea to build a “spaceship” for the 2026 dates is also in keeping with the title of the new album too – with it being named after one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful, unexplained 72-second radio burst detected in 1977, originating from the constellation Sagittarius. Its bandwidth and intensity suggested a possible extraterrestrial source.
Asked further about what the plans for their “spaceship” look like, Bellamy told NME that they were “trying to make it fly”, but realistically it may not be possible due to financial constraints.
“I don’t think it will,” he said. “That’s the thing that costs more than a house, but it will be something cool, I promise.”
‘The Wow!’ Signal’ was given a glowing four-star review from NME and praised as the trio’s “best album in 20 years”
“In rekindling their own purpose, the Teignmouth trio have delivered undoubtedly their most consistent and satisfying album since ‘Black Holes & Revelations’ – doubling up as either a knowing gift to the fans or at least a response to any concerns that Muse had long disappeared too far up their own supermassive blackholes,” it read. “Look up to the sky with a sigh of relief or a simple ‘wow’.”
Muse’s imminent ‘The Wow! Signal’ UK and European 2026 arena tour will call at Manchester before London, Berlin, Milan, Düsseldorf, La Defense, Amsterdam, Zürich and Montpellier, before January 2027 sees the band call at Lisbon, Floirac, Madrid and Valencia. Visit here for more information.
