Hmmmm, don't know if it's good or bad.

I did say I wanted at least 1 Pyramid headliner I didn't want to see, but that's now 2 (if Muse do headline)

On the assumption that if Muse may be Sunday headliner then at least it means I'll get to see Faithless or Chemical Brothers headlining the Other Stage. :P

I would like one Pyramid headliner so hopefully it's not Radiohead or Coldplay, otherwise I may go see U2. Tried the greatest hits again the other night and like a couple of songs, but not enough to go watch for 2hours.

I'd be surprised if Radiohead or Coldplay headlined, since the whole Jay-Z thing I think they really want to put on headliners who are aren't predictable. Which makes me surprised that Muse are booked, but I suppose they needed somebody youngish eventually, or people might start complaining that about the headliners all being old.

Not really a band for the locals on Sunday...if this is right then its another pretty good booking from ME. No doubt we will now be swamped with Muse threads. Myself i am will proberbly give them a miss,there ok but not what i would class as a headline band. Keep them coming ME

+1. I'm holding out for the Stones or Prince for the Saturday. I can dream :P. All this talk of the headliners next year looks like it may balance out my seeing all three for the first time this year by seeing none next year :P .

Ok, I'm not surprised in the slightest by this news/announcement/strong rumour. I'm pretty sure they'll be headlining the Pyramid on Sunday too.

If saturday's headliner is not one of the following: Led Zep, The Rolling Stones or Radiohead (in order of preference) I will be feeling slightly underwhelmed by this year's headliners. don't get me me wrong, u2 are a monumental booking and I'm happy that the Eavis family have managed to pull it off and book them. Muse are also a massive "current" band. But in all honesty, I'm not overly fussed about seeing either (I have seen Muse twice in the past, promoting their older albums - which were better than their latest offering in my opinion). U2 don't have much more appeal, but I'll possibly watch them if nothing else tickles my fancy. To cut a long story short, I'm hoping that Faithless will be headlining the Other stage as an alternative to either Muse or U2, and that Noel Gallagher will be performing at some point over the weekend.. It will then be happy days as far as I'm concerned :P

Don't want to sound like I'm having a moan, there's much more to Glastonbury than the headliners and I bloody love the place!!

Neil, is this Muse announcement the "big announcement" that you said you'd be making before the end of this week - or is there more to come?

MUSE :P:P:P Knew it, makes perfect sence for them to be the current band headliner with the new album. I think this could be a bit like U2 and we will get a really great striped down performence with maybe a few older tracks than more swayed towards resistance (big fan of the resistance apart from guiding light btw!).

I can just imagine the huge rave to undisclosed desires on the pyramid, or imagine exogenis in full with an orchestra as well!.

My excitement for glasto has just tripled, even U2 got me excited and I don't really care about them!

Well I won't watch them as they're really not my thing, but they're an excellent choice to play. Personally, I find them a bit too whiney, though I can't deny their talent. I thought they were good in 2004, but wouldn't see them again. I'll be elsewhere. Seasick Steve in the Acoustic Tent, please! :P

A lot of my mates will be ecstatic about this news, and that can only be a good thing, surely?

If they're headlining, I have to comment the powers that be - U2 and Muse are both pretty bloody impressive names.

All very exciting.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
