Muse or Glastonbury?

[Okky]

So I came across someone who is about to make (IMO) a silly decision. Having already scored tickets for both Muse's Wembley dates and the deposit on their Glastonbury ticket they are now thinking of cancelling their ticket so they can go to see Muse again at the stade de france on the 12th of June.

They can't afford both Glasto and France so they have decided to refund their Glasto ticket and go to France, even if Muse do headline Glastonbury the set wont be as long and as personalised as the France gig will.

+ U2 suck

Seems silly, I mean maybe if they loved muse and couldn't get wembley tickets but why miss out on all the bands at Glastonbury and everything else there for one gig with french people who smell

[When Jokers Attack]

LMFAO is all I'm saying

[Okky]

I'd say flog one of the wembley tickets on ebay and use that for paying to go to france!

Glastonbury 365 days a week!

It's A No Brainer

Can someone explain why??

[Redwinevino]

[Zacko]

Sounds completely bonkers to me. Wait until the end of the week to see if the band Neil tells us is Muse I say.

As for the more personal feel of their own gigs, aren't they just using the same set list more or less every night? Surely it wont be too different from the Wembley gig (not that there's anything wrong with this)

Other View 1. If they are actually considering doing this let them they don't deserve to be at Glastonbury espically when there are people crying out for tickets

[Shenlong]

I absolutely love Muse but not a chance in hell i would cancel my Glasto ticket, especially having tickets to see them at Wembley already!

[2/Z]

i dont buy into the "well if they are thinkin of sacrificing a glato ticket to see muse a second time in 2/3 weeks then they dont deserve to go glasto" thing. i dont like anyone bein told that their veiws would see them better off elsewhere actually...

i will say this though. if they are considering this then surely they havnt been to glasto before, and if that is the case jus pull out all the stops to enlighen them. trust me, i pondered goin to glasto many years before i actually bit the bullet, and once i did i really dont know what took me so long

[Conrax]

Yeah they should deffinitley go to Glasto, they're seeing MUSE anyway.

[whotookthegoodname]

Why would you want to watch them 3 times within a short space of time? As much as i love Muse and would really love to see them again the magic would wear off seeing them so much within a short space of time, jeez, like a previous poster said, sell one of the wembley dates (cos theyre gonna be the same gig anyway) and use that money for France and then they can go to Glasto too

[NeilVJ]

I would travel all the way to France if it meant I didn't have to see Muse. I don't get for the life of me how they sell out stadiums. I still have never met anyone who likes them, maybe there are a lot of closet Muse fans

[sifi]

Encourage these people to sell their Glasto tickets. With any luck there will be someone who picks them up in the re-sale who actually deserves to go.

Muse or Glastonbury?

Muse [ 1 ] [2.70%]

Glastonbury [ 34 ] [91.89%]

Don't go to either, they're both shit. [ 2 ] [5.41%]

The thought just struck me, re; 3rd option.

Who would go onto a Glastonbury Forum and vote that Glastonbury was 'shit' ?

?

[robalotalob]

Muse fans shouldn't be allowed into Glastonbury.

[jamseyboy]

I voted Glastonbury however if he is such a big Muse fan then he should go to france......afterall I dont want to end up next to someone moaning about the fact that he is watching Led Zep instead of his readily accesible band!

[Rachie]

Reason 1. Muse are awful

Reason 2. They are likely to be at Glastonbury anyway

Reason 3. They are seeing them at Wembly

Reason 4. There is so much more to do than see one act at Glastonbury (maybe 3 or so in France I guess but the same ones as wembly once again)

Other View 1. If they are actually considering doing this let them they don't deserve to be at Glastonbury espically when there are people crying out for tickets

i could watch your avatar all day lol

Yeah, because if you ask a question 'which is better - Muse or Glastonbury?' in an internet forum about the Glastonbury festival, you're really going to get the unbiased, balanced view you're looking for.

Bloody hell - why not go onto a WW2 veterans forum and ask what you should call your first male child - Winston or Adolf?

Is your mate a comedian?

I like Muse. In fact I used to love them a great deal (embarrassing memories of being caught out on several occasions pogoing about the sitting room with my bass, attempting to play along to the Hullabloo DVD but failing miserably to attain any accuracy and simply throwing shapes instead and screeching my head off). But this is even more ridiculous!

For one thing; He's already going to both Wembley gigs and I would dare suggest that going to France as well errs towards the unhealthy side of fandom. Secondly, being put off by U2 is idiotic. U2 will be such a big draw that Eavis and co. will be forced to put on some other amazing bands to clash in order to keep numbers at the Pyramid down to a somewhat controlable level. And while a Muse set at Glastonbury might not be as personal, it will be every bit as memorable and unique in it's own way. Possibly more so. I think everyone agrees that it's not unlikely they'll play next year.

But then again if he can even be tempted by such a plan maybe he should go. It'd be a pity to waste a Glastonbury ticket on someone so silly!
