The Show

The stage setup was a mix between the regular one and the festivals one, with the mirrors and the props from the regular but the different light rigs and flamethrowers from the festival setup.

Map of the Problematique was played in the rotation slot after Psycho, despite the show being a festival, also making this the second gig of the European leg that Map of the Problematique was played on.

Knights of Cydonia had to be restarted twice due to a "technical meltdown" (according to Dom). The band were eventually forced to give up playing the song, so they decided to play Showbiz instead at the last minute, making it the first time Showbiz closed a show since 2006 and the first time Knights of Cydonia didn't close a show since La Cigale in 2018. This version of the song was very raw, with multiple errors from both Matt and Dom, showing that the song hadn't been rehearsed in a while.

Showbiz's unexpected appearance thus marks the first time in a Muse set that all 9 albums were represented.
