"MUSE opened their two-night stand at LONDON EARL’S COURT in dramatic style last night (December 19). The band are rounding up the touring campaign for their ‘Absolution’ album – which saw them headline Glastonbury, T In The Park and V Festivals – with their biggest indoor shows to date.

Supported by The Secret Machines and The Zutons, the band played a set that took in their three albums. Wearing a full-length red suit, frontman Matt Bellamy kept the talking to a minimum, simply saying "We’ve been Muse by the way. What can I say? Merry Christmas!" As the band returned to the stage for the encore, a barrage of giant beach balls filled with balloons were fired into the crowd, before a shower of tickertape rained on the crowd during the final ‘Stockholm Syndrome’.
