The British band will be coming to our fair shores this August, returning after a 13-year absence from Iceland.

Concert promoter Þorstein Stephensen confirmed for radio station Rás 2 today that Muse will be performing at the new Laugardalshöll concert hall on August 6.

Tickets are to go on sale March 8, and Þorstein said that ticket prices will be kept to a reasonable level.

This marks the second time Muse performs in Iceland. They last held a concert here in 2003, with Mínus opening for them. Þorstein said it has not been decided who will be asked to open for the band this year, but Muse themselves will have the final say in the matter.
