Muse have been announced to headline Open’Er amidst huge plans for this year’s European summer festival season.
The Polish festival, which is held annually in Gdynia at the Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport, shared the news today (May 1) on social media.
So far, Linkin Park will be headlining the festival alongside their giant 2025 world tour, while Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails will also take on headline duties. RAYE, Justice, St Vincent, FKA Twigs, Gracie Abrams and more have also been announced to play this year.
The festival will be held from July 2-5, and Matt Bellamy and co. will headline on July 4 this year. Get your tickets here.
Muse are also set to play some huge summer shows later this year. Alongside Linkin Park, KoRn, and Scorpions, they’ll will play at French metal festival Hellfest. That event will take place between June 19-22.
Then, they’ll lead Norway’s Tons Of Rock festival alongside Green Day and Avenged Sevenfold across June 25 and 28.
The dates come amid speculation of new music from the band, with bassist Chris Wolstenholme teasing that they are preparing to make a new album soon. On The Leona Graham Podcast, Wolstenholme said fans could expect a new record in 2026 – however, there is a slight obstacle in the way as the band currently aren’t signed to a label.
“We will [sign to a label], obviously. I think we’re gonna start work on the next record fairly soon,” he shared. “I think for the last few albums we’ve been with Warner and we’ve extended after each album. We may do the same again; we may go with a new label, who knows.”
The last album they shared was 2022’s ‘Will Of The People’, which NME rated four stars when it dropped.
“He may have been broad in his previous political swipes, but Bellamy’s ire here locks in step with a growing public mood, bubbling with a very relatable anger toward those who stand in the way of us tackling humanity’s overwhelming crises. ‘The chances are turning, the future is ours’ he proclaims. Just show us where to enlist.”
In other news, Muse have postponed their Istanbul gig after a DBL boycott call from Turkish fans and protests.
