Muna Can't Wait To Take Their New LP on the Road: 'This Is What We F--ing Love to Do'

Rolling Stone Studio

The band members describe the rage and joy behind Dancing on the Wall, and how their live shows drew inspiration from their time on the Eras Tour

Muna is ready to bring the heat on tour — even if pyrotechnics are out of the question. “Our lighting guy is trying to sell us on pyro,” guitarist Naomi McPherson says. “He pulled me aside during rehearsal, so I was like, ‘We don’t have a fire budget. We can’t afford fire.'”

Even so, the band is aiming to showcase their new album, Dancing on the Wall, with unforgettable concerts for their upcoming Gets So Hot tour. “The shows in the fall are going to be the best shows you could ever see in your whole damn life,” guitarist Josette Maskin says, adding, “If you do not come to these shows, you are actually missing maybe some of the most important events that could ever happen in your life.”

McPherson, Maskin, and lead singer Katie Gavin sat down at the Rolling Stone Studio in New York and shared the plans behind their upcoming live shows, how their time on the Eras Tour influenced some of their setlist goals, and how the past four years shaped their latest release.
