British rock trio Muse have revealed plans for a one‑off UK concert in London this spring, marking a major moment in the band’s 2026 schedule and building on excitement around their upcoming tenth studio album.
The show is set for Good Friday, April 3, 2026, at the O2 Academy Brixton — a smaller, intimate venue compared with the arenas and stadiums the band typically plays. This appearance comes as part of the promotion for their new album The Wow! Signal, which is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.
The Brixton concert is being framed as a special, celebratory performance around the announcement of The Wow! Signal, giving UK fans a rare chance to see Muse in a more up‑close setting ahead of what’s expected to be a busier touring year.
The Wow! Signal is the band’s tenth studio album, following their 2022 release Will of the People. The new record takes its title from the famous “Wow! signal,” a narrow‑band radio transmission detected in 1977 that was long speculated to be a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence. The theme reflects Muse’s continued interest in science, technology and cosmic mystery.
Earlier in March 2026, Muse dropped the lead single “Be With You,” a key piece of The Wow! Signal rollout that has helped intensify anticipation for the full album.
The announcement of the Brixton concert follows a somewhat unusual period for the band: in January 2026, Muse cancelled several previously scheduled concerts due to “unforeseen circumstances,” affecting shows in parts of Africa, India and the United Arab Emirates.
Despite those cancellations, the new UK show and album campaign suggest that Muse are picking up momentum again — and have plans for 2026 that may include further live activity around The Wow! Signal. Fans are already speculating about additional tour dates and a full tour announcement later in the year.
Tickets for the Brixton performance and album pre‑orders were made available following the announcement, giving supporters early access to this unique club‑style gig in London.
As they approach release day for The Wow! Signal and this special UK show, Muse’s blend of cinematic rock, thematic ambition and fan engagement continues to keep their profile high across the global rock scene.
