Muse has gained a massive following worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. Their music is a blend of classic rock and elements of operatic and classical music, all of which create music that is capable of fusing these divergent styles together into a cohesive, emotionally satisfying, and unforgettable experience. Each album release from Muse has been an exploration of new sounds and a challenge to the boundaries of rock music, establishing the band as one of the most innovative and progressive artists of our time.

Muse’s live shows are something truly unique. From their use of elaborate light shows to the stunning visuals displayed on massive stage-set screens, their performances transport you to an alternate world of sights and sounds that leave you feeling completely immersed in their music.

Not to be overlooked is lead singer Matt Bellamy’s flawless vocal performance, which often hits high notes that are nothing short of breathtaking. The way the band synergizes throughout their performances is a sight to behold and adds to the electrifying atmosphere the band generates. In short, Muse is more than just a band, it’s a work of art. Its haunting melodies, uplifting beats, and perfect choreography have left their fans and audiences gasping for more. They have proven time and time again that rock music is a living, breathing organism, capable of reaching heights never before thought possible. And with their consistent evolution of sound and storytelling, we can only imagine what exciting new forms of rock future albums will reveal.

So if you want to experience something truly unique and different but immensely enjoyable, go see Muse and be ready to be transported to another world through the power of artistic performance. Because let’s face it, Muse provides music that’s timeless and ethereal, creating an experience that will stay with you long after the lights have gone out.

Evanescence, the legendary rock band led by frontwoman Amy Lee, will also be joining the tour. Known for their captivating performances and haunting lyrics, Evanescence’s sound is beloved by music lovers worldwide. Fans will be eagerly anticipating hits like “Bring Me to Life” and “My Immortal.” 

Highly Suspect, the American rock band that has taken the world by storm, will also be performing as special guests on the tour. With a unique sound that blends rock, blues, and punk, Highly Suspect has been a favorite among critics and fans alike since their formation in 2009.

Jon Li, arguably the headliner – if not co-headliner – of Twitch Goes Emo 2021, closed out the night with a respectable 4 hour and 40 minute stream, despite having performed a bachelor party gig prior. The expanse of his catalogue is impressive, to say the least, and what he doesn’t know, he can offer quite a decent Live Learn performance.

Li started performing by ear in high school after many years of studying and performing classical piano. While in the process of earning his math and music degrees in college, he was introduced to the world of Dueling Pianos that set him on a career path that led him to travel the world and play with hundreds of talented musicians. Li released Finding February in 2010. In 2020, COVID-19 began his live streaming journey on Facebook, followed by Twitch.
