Information

Official Store pre-sale started Tuesday 13 November 2018, and general on sale started Friday 16. First full gig at the London Stadium (excluding the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony performance, when the stadium was known as the Olympic Stadium).

Muse were supported by Tom Morello and Pale Waves.

The Show

Bliss made it's tour debut, marking it's first live appearance since the By-Request show in Paris back in February 2018. This also turned out to be the only date during the tour where both Bliss and Undisclosed Desires were played on the same setlist.

Matt's Digitech Whammy pedal appeared to be set incorrectly during Reapers, which lead to the last part of the solo not sounding right.

At the end of the show, a fan threw a Liverpool F.C. shirt onto the stage (Liverpool were playing in the UEFA Champions League final the same evening, which they won), which Chris picked up, held aloft, then threw back into the crowd.

Bliss, Propaganda, Dig Down (Acoustic Gospel Version), Undisclosed Desires, Algorithm (Alternate Reality Version), and Pressure were all soundchecked.
