MUSE HAVE announced that they are planning a tour later this year.
The prog-rockers posted a statement on their official website, www.muse.mu, will play shows across Europe and North America in the autumn.
They also revealed that they will support U2 on some of their forthcoming North American tour this September.
The statement reads: "We are pleased to confirm that Muse will be touring in the UK, Europe and North America this autumn.
"Full details on the UK and European dates will be announced soon, but for now we can confirm that the band will be special guests to U2 at a number of their North American shows this September, including New York on September 24.
"The remaining U2 dates will be announced in the coming weeks."
The Teignmouth trio are currently working on a new album, the follow up to 2006's Black Holes And Revelations.
Drummer Dominic Howard recently posted a blog on his MySpace page that said the sessions were going well.
He wrote: "We've probably got two more [songs] to record from scratch then we might be almost looking at a complete album.
"Then strings, synth sparkles, llamas toenails, gongs and anything else we can think of that will help us perceive they [the songs] are finished. The hardest bit is finishing."
He added that the album was sounding "f***ing great," and that he was looking forward to playing it live.
