Muse treats Lowlands on pointed greatest hits revue – De Gelderlander

Okay, there were balloons the size of a baby elephant; There were fluorescent guitars and there was a light show which was switched permanently to the ‘dazzling’; But actually it was Muse gig at Lowlands relatively sober today.

The British super trio played in the Alpha tent the last concert of the Friday night and overwhelmed everyone, without such usual steps to climb the superlative to the last.

Fly irresponsible
buzzed there Muse had to do in March in the Ziggo Dome a patrol camera-equipped drones over the heads of the spectators at Lowlands without technical ingenuity which the group has now patented. The reason was purely practical: in the tent with its many pillars was flying irresponsible.

The Muse compelled to shift the focus to the music. A choice that sounds anything but logical course for a Lowlands valve. And as soon became clear that the band show space utilized again phenomenal how much music can get it out of its limited capacity. The three men Muse sounded at Lowlands powerful as a six-seater hard rock group.

Greatest hits revue
Because the band had only five minutes at his disposal , the crowded Alpha tent was treated to a pointed greatest hits revue Muse concepts. They were powerful hurricane sung: Supermassive Black Hole, Plug in Baby and Starlight. But most of the volume followed during Uprising. Muse ‘music knows no serious political issues, but the sentence They will not control us / We will be victorious seemed just a little louder to be meegebruld than usual.

Lowlands chose to Muse for the first time in years for a headliner in the stadium class. No strategic move, but a combination of circumstances, argued festival director Eric Eerdenburg. Muse had to give a fourth Ziggo Dome show, but found no place for it in the calendar in March. Now the band happened to be nearby.

It was a very happy coincidence with a band at the top are able and his fame. Given the ovation reaction of the Lowlands crowd certainly did not have to be the last time the festival focus on emerging bands and tomorrow’s stars for a night shift.
