First show of the U2 360 tour, where Muse were the support act.

Information

In 2009, Muse were listed on the Izod Center website as special guests supporting U2 at the Giants Stadium. The concert, previously scheduled for 25th September 2009, at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, was moved to the 23rd. The September 24th performance proceeded as scheduled. The change was necessitated by the rescheduling of the New York Jets football game on the 27th from 16:15 to 13:00, for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which started that evening. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year.

The Show

The gig featured the first, and only, performance of the band's cover of America by Leonard Bernstein. Dance of the Knights returned as intro music after more than one year.

Morgan Nicholls returned to gigging after a short break.

After United States of Eurasia Howard "Thank you New Jersey. How you guys doing? [crowd cheer] It's nice to be here playing for you tonight."
