The 2nd Law Tour or The 2nd Law World Tour was an indoor arena tour that took place in the space of one year, between late 2012 and late 2013, taking place in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia in support of The 2nd Law . The tour started in Montpellier in France and ended in Sydney , Australia.

Information

The tour and it's first gigs in Europe were announced in early Summer of 2012. The tour started in Europe, in Montpellier's Park&Suites Arena and spanned over three European legs in 2012, with the second one beginning in Olympiahalle Munich and the third one scheduled to begin in Oslo's Spektrum . The latter one had to be postponed due to Matt breaking his foot and started in Helsinki's Hartwall Arena instead.

The tour then went on to a short Japanese run in 2013, with two gigs at Saitama Super Arena before heading over to North America with three legs - The first one starting in San Diego , the second one in Fort Lauderdale and the third one in Charlotte . In the Summer of 2013, the indoor tour went on a break for The Unsustainable Tour to take place in Europe.

In October of 2013, the band went on a South American tour with leg one of the arena shows starting in Guadalajara's VFG Arena and ending in Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes . After the South American gigs came the Australian leg which started in Perth and ended in Sydney .

Additionally, allthough not officially part of the tour, seven additional festival gigs took place in 2013. The production was similar to arena gigs.

In North America, Muse also had V.I.P. posters made, each one being unique for every gig, designed by local artists.

Support Bands

Support bands for The 2nd Law Tour included The Joy Formidable , who opened for Muse during the first leg of the tour between Montpellier and Manchester gigs, with the exception of night one in London, where, due to illness, fIN opened. Between the Dublin and the Łódź gigs, EverythingEverything opened for Muse and Deap Vally joined the support line up, performing between the Helsinki and Hamburg gigs. For the Amsterdam, Antwerpen and Strasbourg gigs, Andy Burrows opened for them.

For the North American legs, the support bands included Band of Skulls , Dead Sara , Biffy Clyro , We Are Wolves , Circa Survive , Cage the Elephant . We Are Wolves and Circa Survive each supported Muse once. Circa Survive opened in Montville while We Are Wolves opened in Québec City.

The Ruse supported them on the South American and Birds of Tokyo opened for Muse during the Australian leg.

Stage Setup

Held above the centre of the stage was a giant upside down pyramid composed of many screens, which was revealed usually after the third song of the set. There were also screens lining the back and front of the stage. The screens displayed various different visuals during the concerts fitting with the themes of the individual songs.

During Undisclosed Desires Matt would walk up and down the barrier, shaking hands with fans.

After Plug In Baby the screens would display a falling white ball and a roulette with red and black tiles and also a single green tile. Stockholm Syndrome was printed on the black tiles and New Born on the red. Whichever one the ball landed on decided which song the band would play. However, this was for visual purposes only and the song they would play was always printed on the setlist. The ball would not land on the green tile until the North American leg of the tour.

Average Setlist

Falling Down returned to setlists for the first time in nearly 12 years, and part of Host returned for the first time in about 14 years. A new drum and bass jam was introduced to the setlists, dubbed "Monty Jam" by fans, after it was first performed in Montpellier .

• Unsustainable
• Interlude + Hysteria / Map of the Problematique / Bliss
• Supermassive Black Hole
• Panic Station
• Resistance / Bliss (if not played earlier)
• Riffs_and_jams#Montpellier_JamWMontpellier Jam + Explorers
• Falling Down / Sunburn
• Host (intro) + Time Is Running Out
• Liquid State / Save Me
• Undisclosed Desires
• Plug in Baby (extended outro)
• Stockholm Syndrome + Freedom riff / New Born + Headup riff

Encore 1

• Isolated System
• Uprising (extended outro)
• Survival / Man With a Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia

Encore 2

• Survival (if not played earlier) / Man With a Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia (if not played earlier)
• Supermassive Black Hole, Panic Station and Resistance often had their positions in the setlists swapped around with each other.
• Ruled By Secrecy was played instead of Sunburn / Falling Down at Glasgow and United States of Eurasia was played instead of them at the Riga gig.
• The gig at Strasbourg did not feature the Falling Down / Sunburn piano slot.
• Survival and Knights Of Cydonia were rotated for the first few gigs of the the tour, but eventually Survival became the sole closer.
• The Stockholm Syndrome / New Born rotation slot featured a roulette visual, complete with an empty "surprise" slot. The slot wasn't used until the U.S. leg. Since then, Dead Star , Micro Cuts , Unnatural Selection , Hyper Music and Agitated made appearances in the sets.
• Guiding Light and Blackout were added to the set in 2013, after being played during The Unsustainable Tour .
• Citizen Erased , Fury and Butterflies & Hurricanes made a few appearances on the set as the tour went on in 2013.

Muse played two consecutive nights in Saitama, Japan. The setlists were identical to those of the European leg of the tour. However, on the first night, Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption) made its live debut, replacing Sunburn / Falling Down. This was the only time the song has been played live to date. During the song, a music video directed by Japanese comedian Tekken was displayed on the pyramid. Sunburn was played on the second night.

North America Leg 1

The setlists remained largely unchanged from the previous legs of the tour. However, there were a few notable changes. Falling Down and Host were both dropped from the setlists. Feeling Good returned to setlists for the first time since 2011. The second piano slot was removed, leaving Explorers, Sunburn, United States of Eurasia and Feeling Good to fight for a position in the setlist. Sign o' the Times was played once on the tour. Animals was not played at a lot of the gigs. Towards the end of the tour Dracula Mountain was played instead of Monty Jam. Mutations in the order of the setlist were not uncommon, but the general structure remained the same.

At the second New York gig the roulette landed on the green tile for the first time ever. Matt asked a member of the audience what song they wanted to be played, and Dead Star was subsequently performed. It also landed on green during the second Montréal gig , resulting in Muse playing Micro Cuts for the first time since 2011.

North America Leg 2 & Mexico

Some of the songs featured during The Unsustainable Tour and Asian festival dates were carried over into this leg of the tour. Neutron Star Collision and Unnatural Selection were played for the first time in 3 years in Nashville , with Unnatural Selection replacing Stockholm Syndrome and New Born for much of the leg, though they both made occasional appearances. Agitated was sometimes played after them. Citizen Erased returned to setlists for the first time since 2011. Blackout and Hyper Music were occasionally played at the start of the second encore. Guiding Light and Butterflies & Hurricanes also appeared. Fury was played at Pittsburgh for a fan's 100th Muse gig.

The Australian setlist was identical to the previous leg's. No new songs were introduced.

We're finally free of the Fabri thread.

The arena stage was simple and effective. Nice theatrics without giving any room for "the stage restricts our setlist" shenanigans.

The stadium stage was bonkers, badass, completely over-the-top. And it wasn't even much more than a huge screen and some pyro. Loved it.

The gimmicks:

The roulette is a great idea in theory, but it was (pretty obviously) staged. Honestly I'd like to see them keep the roulette for the next tour, but have a pool of maybe 4-5 more obscure songs that they've rehearsed as options. And have it actually be random. Preferrably so that it's a surprise for Muse as well.

The actors need to fuck off. Holy shit, there's no need to make up reasons to keep Feeling Good in the set. Just drop it and drop the actors. And the fucking pooping balloon-gimmick has been done to death now (three stadium tours in a row).

The setlists:

Longer, more varied and performed brilliantly (mostly). Can't really complain a whole lot about the sets this tour. Aside from Starlight closing. But at least it wasn't KoC at every single gig.

The rotations:

Pretty good across the board, I'd say. Obviously there are some exceptions as always, but for the most part it was damn fair. It was very uplifting to see them (mostly) drop the whole second night syndrome thing and just spread the rare/-ish songs across several nights.

What a tour. If you told me, after the TR tour, that they would play Sunburn, Dead Star, B&H, Bliss, RbS, Redemption, Agitated, Yes Please, Fury, Micro Cuts, Falling Down, Futurism, Hyper Music, CTMEOY and more, all in one tour, I would laugh in your face. But goddamn did they pull through this tour. A wide selection of songs, though some were only played once or twice, with lots of goodies for the hardcores. This is something that hopefully carries over to the next tour.

I've never fanboyed as much as I did this tour. Honestly, every gig I went to brought something new with it. Even Wembley 2 didn't match the levels of mindfuck I got from Helsinki or even SDF night 2. By far the most unpredictable gigs I've been to. Met loads of great people, old and new, and had good times all around.

Aside from the obvious; no anniversary gigs and no mention of it, poor ending to the tour etc, there's not really a whole lot to complain about. Great tour imho. I think that's about it.

/end positivity

What Dee said, but worded better.

It's been over a year and I still can't get used to you being positive about Muse.

You know it's been a good tour when Dee is generally positive about it.

Definite improvement over TR tour, but still a few issues. For me, Matt's tones were still hit and miss - some songs came on well, others regressed. Mainly good though.

A few songs have just curled up and died - Hysteria sounds a shadow of its former self, for example, as has New Born (:'(). Others have flourished - particularly some of the older ones that came back. Dead Star and Hyper Music stand out for me.

The following songs need to be retired, or well rested; Feeling Good, New Born, Hysteria, Starlight, Resistance, Undisclosed Desires, Guiding Light.

Also, Matt MUST start playing ALL his guitar and piano parts again, I think that's been the absolutely biggest turn off about this tour for me.

Overall, good effort. Shame about the limp ending.

would go through again

The gimmicks:   The roulette is a great idea in theory, but it was (pretty obviously) staged. Honestly I'd like to see them keep the roulette for the next tour, but have a pool of maybe 4-5 more obscure songs that they've rehearsed as options. And have it actually be random. Preferrably so that it's a surprise for Muse as well.   The actors need to fuck off. Holy shit, there's no need to make up reasons to keep Feeling Good in the set. Just drop it and drop the actors. And the fucking pooping balloon-gimmick has been done to death now (three stadium tours in a row).

Absolutely agreeing with you.

But on the other hand, isn't it just about 10% of the people in the crowd at a Muse show who are aware of what will happen during the gig and can predict it all? I'm sure the other 90% part of the crowd (casual fans?) will remember a floating lightbulb with an angel, or whatever it is supposed to be, popping out of it much better than "here's a song we haven't played for a long time".

I see how all these actor and gimmick things can make the show as good as possible, but of course everyone of us here on the board would rather have more rarities to remember the show by.

New Born from second half of the stadium tour onwards sounded pretty great.

Agree with Clunge about Matt playing everything, that was the worst thing about the tour by far.

actors need to fuck off

as does Feeling Good

as does Starlight, but since it obviously won't, at least don't have it as a closer. jesus.

matt should've played the guitar where he could've but hadn't (blackout and co)

otherwise, awesome as fuck tour.

edit: and yeah, the piano parts, too.

Yeah actors should fuck off

As Clunge said, really not keen on a lot of his guitar tone this tour

TIRO this tour I think has been better than for a long time, perhaps best. Second verse is heavy, and before the last prechorus, when guitar and piano bits overlap is good. Starlight would be good if Matt fucking played the choruses. Hysteria was just a bit naff.

SS, was ok, but again his guitar tones, it's like he's trying to emulate studio too much, the volume change between riff and the verses, massive drop off. Just feels naff

Plus I never saw Dead Star #Pray4Dom

Agreed about Actors, Feeling Good and Starlight needing to fuck the fuck off.

AVERAGE SETLIST:

The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

Supermassive Black Hole

Panic Station

Knights of Cydonia

Liquid State

The 2nd Law: Isolated System

Time Is Running Out

Plug In Baby

Undisclosed Desires

Stockholm Syndrome

Probably my biggest issue with this tour as well. Blackout was totally ruined because of Matt delegating the guitar part to Chris so that he could do some cringy frontman bollocks instead. Obviously it affects other songs as well but that's the most glaring one to me. It wouldn't be as bad if he was charismatic enough on stage to pull it off but I don't think he is. The only time it's ever worked is during UD 'cause it doesn't really take away from the music and it brings some cool interaction with fans on the barrier, but then again UD shouldn't be played anyway so that point's pretty redundant.

Good tour in general though, definitely a big improvement over TR tour. My only possible gripes about song selections are the few songs that should be dropped (Feeling Good, Guiding Light etc.) sticking around and that I wish they'd kept Host as an intro to TIRO instead of just getting rid of it for seemingly no reason.

Can we all just sit here and jerk off in remembrance to how awesome this was

Dead Star was only played 4 times?

Jedi of Cydonia

I think somehow something went wrong with your list because Unintended isn't even on there and some of the numbers towards the bottom of the list are a bit off. Blackout was definitely played more than 3 times this tour

No. Something's off.

Yeah that sounds unlikely, but hey, setlist/fm

Ah, there's a separate thing for The Unsustainable Tour

setlist.fm distinguishes between stadium tour and the rest, since the first is called "The Unsustainable Tour"

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
