caption_attribution_description: English: Stage from Muse during Stockholm Syndrome.
context_page_description: The 2nd Law World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by English alternative rock band Muse. It was the band's eighth concert tour, which supported their sixth studio album The 2nd Law. The stadium tour was called The Unsustainable Tour and saw the band's biggest stadium tour to date.
  Muse announced the tour via their official website and Twitter account on 7 June 2012.
  Furthermore, the tour has an official live release on CD/DVD/Blu-ray: Live at Rome Olympic Stadium, with the Italian date which was held on 6 July 2013 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, in front of a crowd of 60,963 people. A show in Tokyo described by drummer Dom as 'the funniest ever' was also filmed. However, a release date for this recording has yet to be confirmed, with only one song from the concert being released as a Muse website members 'Christmas present.' At the conclusion of 2013, the tour was placed on Pollstar's annual "Year End Top 20 Worldwide Tours", and appeared 13th worldwide, earning over $103 million with 79 shows in 2013.
context_section_description: The European arena tour setlist was based around the same general idea: If "Hysteria" was played third, "Stockholm Syndrome" would close the main set and "Knights of Cydonia" would close the first encore, with "Survival" closing the second encore. However, if "Map of the Problematique" was played third, then "New Born" closed the main set and "Knights of Cydonia" and "Survival" were switched around. This also determined when the carbon dioxide cannons were set off, as depending on the show closer, it switched between "Survival" and "Knights of Cydonia". There was usually one song from the debut album Showbiz played somewhere in the middle of the setlist, usually "Sunburn" and to a lesser extent, "Falling Down". In the latter half of the tour, for venues which had multiple shows, the setlist on the second night would often have more rarities, with tracks like "Agitated", "Yes Please", "Hyper Music" and "Butterflies and Hurricanes" making appearances.

  During the North American tour, Knights of Cydonia was played in the middle of the show, instead of the encore. Starting 10 March at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the band began shows with "The 2nd Law: Isolated System", instead of "The 2nd Law: Unsustainable". Unsustainable was played in the encore, before Uprising. Following that change, venues with back-to-back shows (i.e. Madison Saquare Garden in New York, the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, and the Bell Centre in Montreal) featured "The 2nd Law: Isolated System" as the opener on the first night and "The 2nd Law: Unsustainable" as the opener on the second night. In each case, the other song was shifted to the encore before Uprising. In Quebec City, on 26 April, the band again opened with "The 2nd Law: Unsustainable", playing Isolated System at the beginning of the first encore, before Uprising. There was also frequent rotation of several other songs, with "Bliss" and "Map of the Problematique" sometimes appearing instead of Hysteria, and both "Sunburn" and "Feeling Good" making appearances either in addition to, or in place of "Explorers". 
  Matthew Bellamy performed a solo guitar version of the "Star Spangled Banner" as an introduction to songs throughout the US dates of the tour.
  In response to a fan campaign, Muse played Dead Star at the 10 April Toronto ACC show, and again at the 16 April Madison Square Garden show when the roulette video landed on a blank green square (rather than either "New Born" or "Stockholm Syndrome"). At the 24 April show in Montreal, the roulette wheel again landed on the green square; this time the band played Micro Cuts (in response to a sign given to Matt by a fan the previous night), marking the first time the song had appeared on the tour.
