Muse had to cancel several gigs on their tour in February 2026. Appearances in the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and India are affected. What’s behind it?
Cancellation due to “unforeseen reasons”
The band announced through organizer Live Nation that the planned concerts could not take place “due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.” The tour was originally scheduled to include four stops: the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on February 4th, Johannesburg on February 7th, Cape Town on February 11th and Bengaluru on February 14th.
However, the group around Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard was not specified. The statement simply continued: “This was a very difficult decision that we did not make lightly.” Muse also let ticket holders know: “We are sincerely sorry for everyone who purchased tickets and we thank you for your understanding.”

The band is currently working on their tenth studio album. The last album “Will Of The People” was released in 2022. As a first taste of the new material, the band released the song “Unravelling” last year. Listen here:
