Muse announce support acts for UK Drones tour

PanARMENIAN.Net - Muse have announced which bands will be joining them as support acts on their upcoming UK Drones tour, Gigwise reveals.

Set to be their most ambitious tour to date, the 'Supermassive Black Hole' and 'Psycho' space-rock trio will be playing a nationwide run of arena shows kicking off in April - and have now announced that they'll be joined by Nothing But Thieves and Phantogram respectively across the dates.

Speaking to Gigwise about their comparison to Muse, Nothing But Thieves frontman Conor Mason said: "Yeah I mean we're more influenced by Radiohead, but I get it because Muse were also influenced by Radiohead. Although it's a flattering comparison because we are from the same school of thought in terms of influences."

He continued: "We did learn a lot when we played with them in Rock in Roma about 5 months ago. It was a big 40,000 capacity and the way they just captivated the crowd, we learnt a lot from that. But it's also small intricacies you pick up on too, like the smoothness between songs and the little things that make it a very professional show. But that comes with playing to 40,000 people every day like they do. We pick up things from every front band we play with and follow."
