Muse is preparing to hit the road in support of its new album, The Wow! Signal, and frontman Matt Bellamy says fans can expect a stage production inspired by science fiction.

Speaking to NME, Bellamy revealed that the band is building a spaceship for the upcoming tour.

"We're trying to build a spaceship – as you do," Bellamy said. "We're trying to work with that, build a spaceship, do some new stuff with lasers that's never been done before, and yeah, it will be a classic. It's going to be more in the space, sci-fi realm, which I think is cool for us."

Bellamy added that he hopes the spaceship will be able to fly, but admitted that may not happen.

"I don't think it will," he said. "That's the thing that costs more than a house. But it will be something cool, I promise."

If the spaceship becomes part of the production, it will debut during Muse's European tour, which begins in November. The band launches its U.S. tour in support of The Wow! Signal on Thursday at Milwaukee Summerfest.
