Muse tour announces first fall ‘Resistance’ dates for U.S., Canada

Muse just finished a headline set at the 2010 Coachella Festival on April 17 and a supporting stint on select dates of U2’s 360° Tour. Now the British alt-rock trio has announced plans to end this year with its own extensive headlining tour of North America.

The fall tour leg kicks off September 22 at Viejas Arena in San Diego, CA, and presently has dates booked through a November 6 event at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, OH. Just 14 dates have been announced for the venture so far, but additional dates are expected soon.

Highlights on the current itinerary include gigs on September 25 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA; October 2 at Pepsi Center in Denver, CO (rescheduled from an earlier performance date); October 21 at Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City, QC; and November 3 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO.

Public onsales begin April 23 for the tour’s Charlottesville and St. Louis gig stops; box offices in the remaining markets will open for business on April 24.

Ticket prices will vary for the tour, but most markets will see face values within the $35 to $65 range, according to Ticketmaster.com‘s current event listings. More scheduling and ticketing details are available on Muse’s official Web site.

Muse is touring behind its fifth studio album “The Resistance,” released in September 2009. The effort debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, the group’s best-ever showing on the U.S. charts, and spawned two No. 1 singles on the U.S. alternative charts with “Uprising” and “Resistance.”
