Muse Headlining Saturday

[Sinner Boy]

Muse to headline the main night of Glasto's 40th anniversary - revealed today.

Probably can't argue with Stevie for the sunday, but for the saturday's headliner to be a band like Muse, although I know people love them and their huge in England, also great live ... does anyone just feel a little cheated by this?

[In transit]

Not really. I can't see why anyone would have a problem with them as a 3rd headliner given their history with the festival and their standing.

Just so happens that this year the traditional format of having the biggest headliner on the Saturday has been inverted, can't see why that's a problem when you consider the size of the Friday and Sunday headliners.

yes - you wouldn't know how much!

[LondonTom]

Killers have done the saturday before...

SO MUSE!

Muse are not my cup of tea at all but lots of people seem to like them so I can't argue too much with the decision

Surely there isn't a 'main' night though, is there?

There are 3 'main' days and they have to fit around the schedules of the acts as to who plays and when?

Equal billing as far as I'm concerned.

If it is indeed U2 (Fri), Muse (Sat) & Stevie Wonder (Sun) they've pulled off 3 unique headliners!

[In transit]

They'd better play citizen erased (plus look at the sparse flags!).

Sinner Boy: so if it was Stones Friday, Led Zep Sunday would you still be disappointed? In that scenario I wouldn't have cared if Jedward had headlined the Saturday.

Isn't this just a result of being underwhelmed by all three headliners rather than Muse specifically?

Yeah, I'm not a Muse fan at all, but regardless of that, Stevie Wonder and U2 have to be 2 of the biggest headliners in the world. Had The Rolling Stones been Saturday instead, it would have been a truely legendary lineup, but at least Muse stops people moaning it's all "older" acts...

[LondonTom]

Just with the fact it was the 40th anniversary, all the hype about the stones, and even more so, Led Zeppelin, then to find out a contempory band like Muse, ... personally just think its a major major let down.

[cee_dog]

Personally i cant wait to see Muse! I have watched a few videos of them and i think they'll do a brilliant job.

A great booking if you ask me, even though everyone may not think so, thats why there are so many different stages lol. I wont be at the Pyramid for Stevie Wonder as he isnt really my cup of tea, im not going to start threads about being cheated lol

Dang, so Michael Eavis has bottled out of booking the greatest live band in the world to headline then.

Boo Michael, BOOO!

[st00ka]

No Daft Punk then?

So it's not really a young persons slot on Sunday after all!!

and how can anybody be completely pissed off, I'm sure there will be huge acts headlining elsewhere and lets face it, there is always somewhere else to go...

[neil_clarky]

they are from only a few miles from the festival so fair enough letting a 'local' band have a chance rather than a US act. For the 40th anniversary at an English festival they need an English headliner and there arent any bigger or better English bands around than Muse.
