Muse to Headline BST Hyde Park and Leeds Roundhay in June 2027
Muse have two big dates in the diary for next summer. They will headline BST Hyde Park in London and the sister event, Roundhay Festival in Leeds, on consecutive days in June 2027.
Two days, two parks
The London show is on Saturday 26 June. Nothing But Thieves and Chvrches are the named support. The Leeds show follows on Sunday 27 June, and Nothing But Thieves join Muse again there.
Both line-ups are due to be completed in the coming months. Bon Jovi and RAYE are also confirmed as headliners at BST Hyde Park in 2027, and more names are still to come.
How the tickets will be sold
Sales run in four steps. An Amex pre-sale opened at 10am on Monday 9 November. The artist pre-sale follows at 10am on Wednesday 11 November and an AEG pre-sale at 10am on Thursday 12 November. General sale opens at 10am on Friday 13 November.
The Glastonbury weekend
Both shows fall on Glastonbury weekend. If Muse were to play Worthy Farm for a third time as headliners, the only slot left would be Friday 25 June. Rumoured Glastonbury headliners include Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Fontaines D.C., The Rolling Stones and Taylor Swift. None of that is confirmed.
The band's current run
The announcement lands just before Muse start their winter tour. Their UK and European arena dates begin in Manchester on Thursday 12 November. The band released their tenth album, The Wow! Signal, in June and then spent the summer on a long North American tour.
After Manchester, the arena run goes on to London, Berlin, Milan, Düsseldorf, La Défense, Amsterdam, Zürich and Montpellier. In January 2027 the band play Lisbon, Floirac, Madrid and Valencia.
The album takes its name from a 72-second radio burst picked up in 1977 from the direction of Sagittarius. Nobody explained it. The signal's bandwidth and intensity left open the possibility that it came from outside Earth.
Frontman Matt Bellamy has said the arena show will have a bigger production than before. "We're trying to build a spaceship – as you do," he said. According to Bellamy, the quote for it came in at more than some houses in Primrose Hill cost.
Bellamy said they were trying to make it fly, but financial limits may stop that. His verdict on the odds was short: "I don't think it will." He promised the show would still impress, with new laser work that has not been done before.
Old links between the bands
Nothing But Thieves supported Muse on the 2019 UK arena tour for Simulation Theory. Chvrches also have a history with the headliners. Muse covered their early single Lies in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2015, and Chvrches' Clearest Blue is what the speakers play last before Muse walk on at recent shows.
