After weeks of anticipation, the UK rock trio Muse has finally announced their first round of North American dates for their upcoming 2013 tour.

The concerts come in support of their latest studio album The 2^nd Law, which was released on Tuesday (October 2^nd) via Warner Brothers Records.

The stage show for the tour is expected to be particularly impressive, with drummer Dom Howard stating it will include a shape-shifting, upside down pyramid, dancing aliens, and kung-fu, in an interview with BBC.

Muse is currently on the European leg of its tour, which runs through December 6^th in Stockholm, Sweden.
