\n\tMove over ELO and P-Funk, Muse is cooking up their own out-of-this-world stage prop for their upcoming winter U.K.\/European tour. Singer Matt Bellamy revealed in an interview with NME<\/em> that the power rock trio are going back to the future for the outing in support of their just-released 10th studio album, The Wow! Signal<\/em>, with dreams of pioneering new laser techniques and building a traveling mothership.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re trying to build a spaceship \u2013 as you do,\u201d Bellamy said of the plot to land the ship in arenas later this year. \u201cThe quote came in and it\u2019s more expensive than some of these houses [in Primrose Hill], and that\u2019s saying something around here. We\u2019re trying to work with that, build a spaceship, do some new stuff with lasers that\u2019s never been done before, and yeah, it will be a classic. It\u2019s going to be more in the space, sci-fi realm, which I think is cool for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFans of the veteran band are probably not surprised about the rocket ride Muse have planned for them considering that singer\/guitarist Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard have long filled their live shows with eye-popping laser, massive pryo, drones and elaborate, space-age staging. <\/p>\n

\n\tDescribing his hopes for the spacecraft, Bellamy said the trio is \u201ctrying to make it fly,\u201d though financial considerations may ground that dream. \u201cI don\u2019t think it will,\u201d he said about the prohibitively high cost of the prop taking flight. \u201cThat\u2019s the thing that costs more than a house, but it will be something cool, I promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

NME<\/em> noted that the spaceship prop is in tune with the title of the new album, which was inspired by an enduring interstellar mystery: a powerful, unexplained 72-second burst of radio sound detected by Ohio State University\u2019s Big Ear radio telescope in 1977 that originated in the Sagittarius constellation and whose bandwidth and intensity suggested it may have come from an extraterrestrial source.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe U.K.\/European tour is slated to kick off on Nov. 12 in Manchester, England and run through a Dec. 8 show in Zurich, Switzerland. U.S. fans, however, will have to make do with a more stripped-back presentation fitted to the amphitheaters the band will play beginning on Thursday (July 2) at Summerfest in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s the only viable summer tour in America that\u2019s outdoors unless you\u2019re at stadium level, which we\u2019re not in the U.S.,\u201d Bellamy said. \u201cIt\u2019s in between arena and stadium size, but the issue is you can\u2019t do the craziest production.\u201d<\/p>\n
