Just a comment in general on this (rather than just about Muse in particular) .....

Isn't it normally the case that when a band does get this popular, it's because they've turned into a crap version of their former selves, and via that attracted a mainstream following?

There's two potentially wildly different things that could be going on there though. In some cases the band have gone mainstream to attract a bigger audience. But I think in the case of Muse (I also think this is the case with U2) it's simply that the music they have found themselves working on has been more mass-audience friendly. Although I find that weird because personally I think The Resistance is a lot LESS commercial sounding than Absolution.

It's the fact that you seem to take delight in coming on to my threads about other bands just to wind me up which amuses me the most. I have come to terms with the fact that you are now my second concions, the dark side of the Hole if you like. The beast waiting to get out of my body but not quite making it.

. People say that KOL have turned mainstream in their sound which is bollocks and it's just the fact that sex is on fire was as large as it was and that everybody from mums to chavs liked the song. Suddenly indie doesn't make people feel indepenent, what indie is supposedly stands for and it's liked by everybody.

Does anyone think it might be that Muse could play but not headline? ME has said he wants to get many past headliners back..

yep - that's the exact reason why the eFestivals story last week that Muse will be playing doesn't say they'll be headlining.

I know for sure they're playing (providing my info is good, which it very definitely should be).

I don't know for sure that they're headlining.

I'd be very happy if they play 2nd down. I don't like muse much so would be a bit of waste of a headliner for me, but if Glasto manages to get bands as big as Muse for 2nd down then it's the start of a very special line up.

I knows. That's never never going to happen.

License won't let them use the main stages on any other days apart from Fri, sat and sun. They can't have Muse being one of the only few bands to play somewhere like the Queens Head on Thursday. People would die.

I would bet my whole existence on that not happening

    • NIN and Bjork for sure 😉 
    • When are  the stage splits ??  
    • 13th Primavera (Thursday was definitely making me feel like this was the cursed year).  Blood Orange was such a party by the end of their set but we all knew that rain storm was approaching.  So gutted Massive Attack didn't play after the false hope of a new rescheduling, especially knowing that Elizabeth Fraser & Horace Andy were backstage with them!  Managed a bit of Melt Banana but was just so over the weather by that point.   Friday was awesome, Rilo Kiley were so much fun.  Never been the biggest Cure fan but made the effort for them after Thursday & Robert Smith sounds like he did back in the 80s.  PinkPantheress & Viagra Boys were also great.   The highlight for me was Sudan Archives on the Saturday, she was stunning & with the Olivia Rodrigo surprise set too it made up for the Thursday sh*t show.  Dijon & Knocked Loose also superb.   Shoutout to Cardiacs on the Tuesday too, they were so LOUD, played a storming set.    
    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
