Muse

In August 2010, when Muse performed "Uprising" live at the Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester, they were riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, "The Resistance," released in September 2009. This album showcased Muse's signature blend of rock and orchestral elements, earning them a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and a place on several year-end best albums lists. The performance of "Uprising" during this time reflected the band's ambitious stage presence and commitment to grand, politically charged themes, resonating with their growing global fanbase. The concert in Manchester also highlighted the band's dedication to live performance, as they were known for their elaborate visual effects and powerful soundscapes. Notably, "The Resistance" was significant for its thematic exploration of resistance and rebellion, fitting perfectly with the charged atmosphere of the live recording.
