At long last, Muse finally kicked off their Drones world stadium tour with a huge show in Mexico last night - while honouring the victims of the Paris terror attacks too. See footage, the setlist of songs played and more tour dates below.
The band, already renowned as one of the finest and most ambitious live acts on the planet, excited fans when they revealed that the shows would be 'in the round', feature Drones and a set design that's 'one of their most adventurous to date'.
Last night, the tour set up and drones stage received its world debut at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. Performing in the round as promised, the band rotated to perform to all sides of the audience throughout the evening on the double arrow-headed stage - beneath an epic display of LED screens, pyro and drones.
The setlist leaned heavily on the new album, performing 'The Globalist' and new single 'Revolt' for the first time, but naturally was a career-spanning set that took in classics such as 'Plug In Baby', 'Starlight', 'Madness', 'Time Is Running Out' and 'Knights Of Cydonia'.
Returning a second encore, the band dedicated 'Mercy' to the people of Paris - following last week's ISIS terror attacks.
