Muse announce new single ‘Madness’ + album release date

Muse have announced that Madness will be the first single lifted from their forthcoming sixth studio album ‘The 2nd Law’. The track will launch on radio worldwide today, and will also be available via digital retailers today as well. Hopefully the single and album will be better than what we’ve heard in previous album previews for ‘The 2nd Law’ and their Olympic song.

Watch one of their old videos below when they were at the top of their game.

The band will release their sixth studio album ‘The 2nd Law’ via Warner Bros. Records on October 2 (this is the new release date), and have made a stunning short film to preview the record. Fans can view this film by visiting the bands website, muse.mu.

The album release will be followed by a huge tour of Europe starting in France on October 16 and including five UK shows. The UK dates start in Glasgow on October 24 and include two nights at London’s O2 Arena, one night in Birmingham and one in Manchester.
