Muse will headline Blackweir Fields in Cardiff on Wednesday 23 June 2027, with synth-pop trio CHVRCHES as special guests.
The two-time GRAMMY Award winners follow eight consecutive UK Number 1 albums, the latest being their 10th studio album, The Wow! Signal. It went straight to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart earlier this year. NME called it the band’s “best album in 20 years”.
Fans can sign up for Thursday’s 10am pre-sale via blackweirlive.com/muse. General sale opens at 10am on Friday via blackweirlive.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.
Since forming in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994, Muse have built a reputation as one of the most ambitious live bands in the world, known for vast productions and a catalogue of rock anthems. Plug In Baby, Time Is Running Out, Supermassive Black Hole and Uprising sit among the songs that made them one of the UK’s most recognisable international artists of the past two decades.
The Wow! Signal was produced with Dan Lancaster and Aleks Von Korff and recorded in part at Abbey Road Studios. Singles include Unravelling, Be With You, Cryogen, Hexagons and Nightshift Superstar, plus Hush, a duet with Ellie Goulding.
The band have spent much of this year on The Wow! Signal Tour, from an intimate album launch at London’s Brixton Academy in April to a North American run that closed at the Hollywood Bowl. The European arena leg arrives in the UK this week with two nights each at Manchester’s Co-op Live and London’s The O2.
CHVRCHES will open with their blend of soaring synths, huge melodies and Lauren Mayberry’s vocals. The set draws on more than a decade of material, from The Mother We Share and Recover through Every Open Eye, Love Is Dead and Screen Violence. Their fifth album, All The King’s Men, is due in January 2027, their first in almost six years. The politically charged single Roses is out now.
Muse’s date continues a run of major outdoor shows at Blackweir since the series began in 2025, with previous headlines from The Cure, Lewis Capaldi, Pitbull, Teddy Swims, Stevie Wonder, Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan and Slayer.
It has already been revealed that Shania Twain, Alex Warren and Fontaines DC will also headline Blackweir next summer. Fontaines DC play on 29 June with Little Simz and Viagra Boys. Alex Warren is on 20 June, and Shania Twain on 22 June. More dates are still to be announced.
The events are presented by DEPOT Live, the live-events arm of Cardiff venue DEPOT, and UK promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT Live, said: “MUSE are a brilliant addition to our Blackweir line up for 2027. Welcoming them to the magnificent Blackweir Fields will be a special moment and one we are very much looking forward to.
“They are a huge British artist who quite rightly are celebrated for their massive musical achievements, and I have every confidence this will be one heck of a brilliant night of rock in Cardiff next summer.”
