Muse kicked off their 2025 European tour in Helsinki, Finland last night, June 12, and surprised fans by opening their set with a brand new song, forthcoming single Unravelling.

The trio have been teasing their return on social media in recent days, posting snippets of the single, with the caption "Back at it", but it was still a surprise for fans at the 1,400-capacity Kulttuuritalo venue to see Matt Bellamy's band re-introduce themselves with the synth-heavy new song.

The gig in the Finnish capital was Muse's only intimate headline show ahead of a busy summer where they will headline festivals such as Hellfest (June 20), Pinkpop (June 22), Open'er (July 4) and Mad Cool (July 10).
