Widely renowned as one of the best live acts in the world, Muse—Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard, and Chris Wolstenholme—have won numerous music awards, including two Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, five MTV Europe Music Awards, two Brit Awards, six NME Awards, and six Q Awards. Since forming in 1994, Muse have released seven studio albums, selling more than 20 million copies worldwide. Their latest album, Drones, debuted at #1 in 21 countries around the world and scored the band their first #1 album in the United States—along with an award for Best Rock Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Returning to Anaheim, California for its 11th year, BlizzCon is a massive celebration of Blizzard’s universes and the global player communities that bring them to life. The event has drawn thousands of Blizzard gamers from all over the world to the Anaheim Convention Center for more than a decade, with millions more tuning in online. This year’s show, running November 3 and 4, will be loaded with in-depth developer panels, thrilling esports tournaments, community contests, and much more.

“We’re thrilled to close out our 11th BlizzCon with a performance from one of rock’s greatest live acts,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Muse has wowed millions of people around the world with their groundbreaking music, and we’re excited that they’re coming to give BlizzCon attendees an epic sendoff.”

This year’s Virtual Ticket brings the Blizzard community viewing from home even closer to BlizzCon with expanded stage coverage, a new BlizzCon All Access channel, on-demand videos, and several series of weekly preshow videos—available to watch now on www.blizzcon.com. It also comes with a cache of commemorative in-game goodies for a variety of Blizzard games, including World of Warcraft®, Overwatch®, Hearthstone®, Diablo® III, StarCraft® II, and Heroes of the Storm®.

    Nothing wrong with Muse. At least it isn't rap, or pop music.

    Nothing against them, but like usual, I doubt the audience of Blizzcon is the right audience for these bands.

    They should aim for more geeky bands, or just have an orchestra play their soundtracks, which are excellent.

    Every year they have a concert, and every year I wonder why they keep driving ticket prices up just to have a band play that has absolutely nothing to do with video games. The last time they had a relevant band, they had a Video Games Live concert, and that was almost a decade ago.

    “We’re thrilled to close out our 11th BlizzCon with a performance from one of rock’s greatest live acts,”

    im agreeing with the above guy. their live performances look kind of awful. the crowds are generally motionless and quiet. they look like they are being paid to be there honestly lol

    "Oh no it's not the one band I wanted among the literal millions of bands that could have been there. Welp, time to open my browser and bother everyone with my irrelevant opinion."

    Well to be fair they have been in video games. Guitar hero and the like has used their music before. Not everyone wants to see VGL all the time either.

    Would have preferred Justin Beiber, at least then I’d know the closing ceremony would be a shitshow instead of this uncertainty.

    I'm not sure how well they'll connect with a convention crowd, but Muse is definitely one of the better live performances I've seen. Honestly, that's the first thing out of people's mouths when you bring up their concerts.
