Muse announced today that they’ll hold a ‘by request’ concert at Paris’ La Cigale on February 24th. Tickets will only be available for members of Muse.MU, and will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Saturday, February 17th. Keep in mind, there is a two ticket limit per purchase.

‘By request’ means that Muse plans to be democratic about its setlist. Ticket holders can choose their top five choices; all submitted votes will be used to curate the setlist. Anyone not able to attend the concert can watch the show live from Muse’s Facebook, Twitter, Periscope and YouTube accounts.

Muse released their new single “Thought Contagion” yesterday. It’s available on all digital platforms along with a video.

Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme formed Muse in 1994. Their last album, Drones, came out in 2015 and debuted at No. 1 in twenty-one different countries, and was their first No. 1 album in the United States. Drones won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. They’ve released seven studio albums that have sold more than 20 million times. They’re known for their engaging live sets, this one will be no different.

Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
