Muse fans in Portugal, start planning your January. The British trio has confirmed a show at Lisbon's MEO Arena on January 10, 2027, and it's not just a one-off gig — it opens the next European leg of their The Wow! Signal Tour. From Lisbon the band moves on to Bordeaux and Lyon in France, then Madrid and Valencia in Spain.
Tickets matter here. Pre-sales open on October 7, with the general sale following on October 8 at 9am through promoter Live Nation. Given the demand that pushed the band to add these dates, anyone serious about going should be ready the moment sales open.
There's some history wrapped up in this one. It will be Muse's first show at the MEO Arena since May 2016, when the Drones tour rolled through the Portuguese capital. They haven't ignored Portugal since, though — Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard played NOS Alive in July 2025, stepping in as last-minute replacements for Kings of Leon. That festival slot was their 17th Portuguese show since debuting in the country back in 2000, so the bond between band and audience runs deep.
The tour supports their tenth studio album, The Wow! Signal, released on June 26. Expect to hear tracks like Be With You, Cryogen, Hexagons and Unravelling alongside the usual two decades-plus of back catalogue.
For travellers, this is a decent excuse for a winter city break. Lisbon in January is mild by European standards, quieter than the summer crush, and hotel prices dip outside peak season. Fly in a couple of days early for the pastéis de nata, the miradouros and a ride on tram 28, then cap the trip with an arena show. The MEO Arena sits in the Parque das Nações district — the same riverside area built for Expo '98 — so you can pair the concert with the Oceanário aquarium and a stroll along the Tagus.
The gig falls under the Super Bock Super Rock Concert Series, a partnership with Live Nation Portugal, which has been pulling big international names to Lisbon in the shoulder seasons. If you miss the Lisbon date, the immediately following shows in France and Spain give Iberian-adjacent travellers a fallback — or a reason to string together a Madrid-and-Lisbon double header.
Whether you're a longtime fan who remembers the Drones show or a newcomer drawn in by the new album, a January arena night in Lisbon is about as good a reason as any to book a flight. Just set an alarm for October 7.
