Watch an exclusive clip of Muse performing 'Knights of Cydonia' in the 'Drones' world tour film

Film will be shown in cinemas on 12 July

Muse have released a new trailer for the upcoming video of their massive 'Drones' tour, which you can watch first via The Independent.

The British rock band played a career-spanning set during the 2016 tour, which was filmed over multiple live shows.

A statement on the 90-minute video said it will showcase performances of Muse's hits including "Psycho", "Madness", "Uprising", "Plug In Baby", "Supermassive Black Hole" and "Knights of Cydonia", the latter of which you can see in an exclusive clip (above).

Frontman Matt Bellamy told The Independent: "The Drones show reflects the mood and story of the album, we played for the first time in the round, and wanted a show that was stark and spectacular featuring cutting-edge autonomous drone technology."

​The film includes never-before-seen special effects, plus highlights of the tour's impressive stage production to capture the thrill of the live experience.

Muse released their latest single "Thought Contagion" earlier this year, which Bellamy said was partly inspired by watching American news stations.

He told Rolling Stone: "We're living in an age where these sort of ideologies, people's belief systems, whether they are true or false, are getting a lot of air time, especially ones on the false side.

"I think that we're living in an unusual period where a lot of airtime is being given to crazy ideas. The flip side is that we're living in a time where pointing out someone's inaccuracies, using science for example, is becoming increasingly difficult. Sometimes it's even perceived as an insensitive thing to do.

"The verses are me streaming off anxieties and feelings, which in the course of the song, I'm wondering whether they're actually mine or not. I don't know to what extent I'm influenced by others. Sometimes your anxieties about the world or your anxieties about the world of the future can be lessened by turning the news off and turning your phone off for a few days. You then realise that everything is fine."

You can see it for one night only on 12 July 2018 at select cinemas worldwide - for the full list visit the official Muse website.
