Bombastic opera rock giants Muse play at Wembley Stadium for a late summer rendition of their fifth studio album, The Resistance. The Devon three-piece returned to our radio stations last year with the Doctor Who-synthed single Uprising, in which singer Matt Bellamy wailed: "We will be victorious!" And who's to doubt him? The ridiculously ambitious new record - "an album of genius, brilliance and beauty" (The Times) - blasted to the top of the international charts overnight and the band hit the road for a year-long tour. If debut Showbiz was often one dimensional and dismissed as Radiohead-lite, then The Resistance has secured Muse's eternal place in the halls of rock stardom. Audaciously blending Chopin nocturnes, R n B, glam-rock and overt homage to Queen, the album ends with a Berlioz-inspired three-movement symphony about mankind abandoning earth and populating another planet. And the biggest surprise it that Muse pull it off - 100 per cent. Having supported U2 last autumn, Muse's stadium superstar credentials are riding high. Not just the cream of Devon, Muse are arguably one of the biggest bands in the universe right now. Resistance is futile.
About The O2 Arena
The centrepiece of the redeveloped Millennium Dome is the O2 Arena, the first purpose-built music venue in London. With a capacity of 23,000, it offers the rather soulless Wembley Arena some serious competition. Big name acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Killers, Justin Timberlake, Girls Aloud and Tina Turner have performed on stage, with the likes of Beyonce, AC/DC, Kings of Leon and Britney Spears set to appear in 2009.
