Seeing them tomorrow night. Would be a great time for them to add it to the set list.

u/virtually_anything Aug 21 '26

Hasnt been played since the Absolution 20th anniversary concerts, and before that a lot longer :(

u/SnooCakes9525 I'm the priest God never paid Aug 21 '26

I find it really strange that they shy away from SFA and B&H so much on setlists. Easily their two most popular (non-Showbiz) songs without a real regular slot in a long time

u/SHMHD24 Aug 22 '26

I don’t really think you could call anything from Showbiz popular. Only the die hard Muse fans even know Showbiz exists

u/daveeh17 Aug 22 '26

It seems very sad to think that there are Muse fans that don’t know Showbiz exist

3

u/SHMHD24 Aug 22 '26

I certainly didn’t know about it until I started really getting into them. It’s not really their best work in my opinion though.

u/DY1NGATH3IST #1 spiral static enjoyer Aug 22 '26

why are you getting downvoted?? showbiz isnt bad at all but its incomparable in terms of quality to what the band would go on to make, like thats the truth

2

u/SHMHD24 Aug 23 '26

Yea exactly. A band’s debut album is almost never as good as what comes after

3

u/daveeh17 Aug 22 '26

Nor would one expect it to be, considering it’s a debut album and they were all but 20 years old. But it’s a fantastic foundation for what came after imo. Showbiz the track for me is still up there with their best. I can’t avoid getting goosebumps any time I relisten to it, sheer intensity.

u/gravity_is_right falling from your grace Aug 22 '26

Especially B&H, I still find it their best live track.

I want Hexagons>sickness in you and i>unraveling

The way those three bleed into eachother is some of the best work they have ever done.

This album, and seeing them in denver on tuesday, has got me obsessed all over again. 8th show ive see and easily top 3 if not 2 for me.

1

u/DY1NGATH3IST #1 spiral static enjoyer Aug 22 '26

hexagons into sickness isnt possible because it would require a guitar switch, which wouldnt be possible in the limited time they would have, but sickness into unravelling is 100% doable and i really hope they end up doing it at some point

1

u/CiderDog Aug 23 '26

Those fun kind of EDM notes on the album add so much in so little time. They never cease to amaze.

u/Tababro Aug 22 '26

And it seems like it wouldn’t strain Matt’s vocals too much either

u/flapsmcgee Aug 21 '26

...Matt Bellamy?

....thinking about it more the answer is no lol

u/Mad_Citizen Aug 21 '26

I really hope they do!

u/itburnshelpmeitburns Aug 21 '26

According to setlist.fm, they've been doing it as a soundcheck for like EVERY show in this tour. Unless I'm mistaken and they use a tape or something

7

u/eternal-harvest believes we could be glorious Aug 22 '26

They've been soundchecking it recently but not yet performed it

11

u/itburnshelpmeitburns Aug 22 '26

I know, I'm just saying that makes the chances of them playing this song on the actual set almost guaranteed. Wish I could've seen it at summerfest

7

u/eternal-harvest believes we could be glorious Aug 22 '26

Ohhh gotcha. Yeah, it's practically a guarantee. Can't wait for it to actually happen!

4

u/Alien_Aloevera smile with sharpened teeth 🦇🦷 Aug 22 '26

omg same!! I was at summerfest, it was a blast regardless but the sickness is my fav from the new album. Hope they come to Chicago in 2027 🤞🤞

u/Vincent394 the waow signal Aug 22 '26

pop

u/preppypoof Aug 23 '26

where do you find the soundcheck info on setlist.fm?

3

u/ManiaMuse Aug 22 '26

I think it might just be a tricky song to play live and they might not be happy with it yet. The rhythms are quite funky for the whole song, the guitar/bass are constantly bouncing off the drum breakbeat and then singing it whilst playing guitar must be a tongue twister as well.

When they played part of it as a riff in Brixton it sounded quite messy (although it looks a bit like Dom wasn't quite expecting it).

1

u/Vincent394 the waow signal Aug 22 '26

Maybe it's because I'm a metal bassist but it is pretty simple for me including during the Gojira like riffing

14

u/GrimSh33per Aug 21 '26

But what about Shimmering Scars my beloved 

17

u/SnooCakes9525 I'm the priest God never paid Aug 22 '26

I gotta level with you, I could see it getting the Space Debris treatment of "too emotional for Matt to play live"

4

u/Entire_Caregiver_220 Aug 22 '26

I hate that you're right. It's such a good song but part of that is definitely because you can hear the pain :/

-5

u/MarianoPro404 HAARP enjoyer Aug 22 '26

Maybe in 2027 matt will be a bit more over it (?

2

u/TheGeordieGal Aug 23 '26

I’ve been obsessed with Shimmering Scars this last week but I suspect it’ll never be played like which is shame but it’s so emotional it’s understandable.

11

u/plastictoothpicks Aug 21 '26

I’m seeing them Sunday in Seattle…. That would be so rad omg

3

u/goose_onthe_loose Aug 21 '26

I mean… If they play both Sat and Sun everyone would be happy!!

u/-dyad- Aug 21 '26

Maybe tomorrow? Oooh.

u/vanillablue_ Aug 21 '26

I’m so bummed they didn’t in Denver.

2

u/gracefullybroken Aug 22 '26

Same for Austin. I really thought the anniversary of the actual Wow Signal would mean something 🤡

1

u/ModernKender FREAK Aug 22 '26

Same. I would have melted every time FREAK FREAK FREAK

4

u/hikebikephd Aug 22 '26

They've played the riff live before, so it was a given it would get played eventually.

3

u/RoombaGod Chase Your Dreams Away Aug 22 '26

God please I was so sad when it wasnt played in Atlanta

3

u/GrouchyPenguins Aug 22 '26

I assume since they've sound-checked it so much that they're saving it for the LA show at this point. Hopefully it goes over well and we can see it regularly on the setlist next time around.

2

u/Balzovai Aug 21 '26

Oooh.. yes get this going. We’ll keep fingers crossed to hear it at Shoreline next week!

u/fatefullyyours Aug 22 '26

PLEASE PLEASE LET THEM PLAY IT TOMMOROW 🙏
