Muse are the masters of modern arena rock. This three-piece from Devon, England embody rock bombast. The stage show for their Australian tour is the very opposite of subdued and intimate, with huge screens, a projected visual accompaniment for each song, raising and lowering platforms, crazy lights, huge balloons that look like eyeballs, a plexiglass grand piano, and frickin’ lasers…my god, the lasers.
If you’re a true lighting enthusiast then you can’t miss this one! It’s one hell of a show.
