Ahead of a 2010 that will see dates across the globe and festival appearances galore, Muse took to Saturday Night Live last night (Dec. 20th) to offer a taste of what’s to come. Now as we’ve come to learn over time, 30 Rock isn’t the greatest of venues for rock bands (aside from Phoenix), and during the initial moments of “The Resistance”, it appeared as if Muse might be the latest band to fall victim to this reality. However, a Matthew Bellamy guitar solo would save the day and by the time Muse returned to the stage to perform Black Holes and Revelations‘s “Starlight”, excellence became the defining word. Next summer? Color me officially excited.
In other Muse news, the band has added a few more North American dates to its upcoming itinerary. Find those below; tickets via Ticketmaster.com.
