Muse performed at The Roundhouse in London on September 30, 2012, delivering a striking rock set as part of the iTunes Festival. Formed in Devon in 1994 by Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard, the British band rose to fame with "Origin of Symmetry" (2001), and here they showcased material from "The 2nd Law" (2012), freshly released. Their sound blends Bellamy’s soaring guitars, Wolstenholme’s throbbing bass, and Howard’s driving rhythms, crafting progressive rock with electronic and epic touches. The live performance stood out with dramatic arrangements and Bellamy’s vocals, shifting from melodic runs to piercing highs, highlighting their flair for gripping shows. "The 2nd Law" introduced experiments with dubstep and orchestral flourishes, marking a bold evolution from their earlier triumphs. Bellamy engaged the crowd with intensity, while the band poured energy into the stage, elevating the atmosphere. The Roundhouse, holding about 3,300, offered an intimate venue: warm lighting and its historic design framed the event. This gig, part of their new album’s promo tour, showcased their prowess in live settings, leaving a lasting mark with their fusion of studio intricacy and onstage grandeur.
