Muse extend Will of the People tour with new German dates

Muse keep their stadium-sized live momentum going. As confirmed by the band’s official tour listings and German ticket platforms, the trio have extended their Will of the People world tour with new arena shows in Berlin and Cologne in late 2026.

New German arena shows on the Will of the People tour

The current tour runs in support of Muse’s ninth studio album Will of the People, released in August 2022 and described by the band as a hybrid of dystopian rock and electronic experimentation. The new German shows follow earlier European dates in cities such as Paris, Milan, Madrid and Prague, where the band have been playing a career-spanning set.

For Germany-based fans, the key news is the addition of a Berlin arena date and a Cologne show, both listed on major ticketing platforms and aligned with the European leg’s routing. These concerts bring the tour back to the German market after successful previous stops in cities like Hamburg and Munich, reinforcing Germany as one of Muse’s strongest live territories in continental Europe.

How Muse structure their 2026 European run

Alongside the German shows, Muse’s extended European leg includes further dates in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Poland, typically in large arenas and outdoor venues with capacities between 10,000 and 60,000. This maintains the scale of their earlier stadium nights, including previous runs at venues like Wembley Stadium in London and Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The 2026 routing continues the pattern of the initial Will of the People tour, which mixed standalone headline dates with festival appearances at events such as Rock am Ring / Rock im Park in Germany, Hurricane Festival and major international festivals. By returning to German arenas after playing large outdoor sites, Muse are offering a more controlled indoor production, with the full lighting design, video screens and stage effects tailored to their current show.

The musical core of Muse’s current show

The Will of the People tour leans heavily on the album of the same name, but it also functions as a retrospective of Muse’s catalogue. According to setlists documented by touring sites, the band regularly perform around 20 songs per night, including early tracks like Plug In Baby and New Born alongside later singles such as Starlight, Uprising and Madness.

Newer songs from Will of the People, such as the title track, Compliance and Won’t Stand Down, slot into the set between older favorites. This creates a through-line from the band’s early 2000s alternative rock sound to their present-day mix of heavy riffs, electronics and orchestral arrangements, illustrating how Muse have built a consistent arena-rock identity while updating their production aesthetics.

Where Muse stand and what’s next

Muse’s next confirmed live date after the summer festival run is an arena show in Berlin, Germany, scheduled for late 2026, followed closely by a concert in Cologne; both are part of the ongoing Will of the People tour.
