EJEKT Festival 2022 welcomes back MUSE!

The British superstars of rock music will be the headliners of the EJEKT Festival 2022 on Wednesday the 29th of June at OAKA.

On June 29th of 2022 Muse will return to the stage of EJEKT Festival with their new, impressive show. Known for their obsession with the perfection of every detail of the audiovisual spectacle they present, in every new tour, they seek to present something that the audience has never seen, leading the live experience to new standards.
