Muse have returned with the news of their 10th studio album The Wow! Signal and have shared its next single.

The album, which follows the band's 2022 record Will of the People, is set for release on 26th June 2026 via Warner and is available to pre-order and pre-save here.

From it comes Be With You- an epic new single, which the band teased earlier this month, and it's new official video, which features Resident Evil and The Occupant star Ella Balinska.

It follows previous take from the album Unravelling, which the band released in June 2025.

According to a press release, the forthcoming album's title is inspired by a well-known cosmic mystery that saw "a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source."

It adds: “The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it – giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore".

The album itself - according to band members Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolthenstolme and Dominic Howard - will explore: “a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves”.
