The Nazis never got anywhere through democratic means.

Anyway stupid argument. Muse sell out big venues, have multi platinum albums and have won tonnes of awards, many for live shows. They are far from unliked.

Yes that's correct and if you dissent it's only because:

a ) You are a troll.

or

b ) Because you are moronic hipster.

Personally, I am both.

They didn't actually. When Hitler was made Chancellor they only had 32% of the popular vote, which ahd declined from 38% the previous election.

The only time Hitler ever stood personally in a free election in the 1932 presidential election he got 12% of the vote.

But you know, GODWIN

As for muse setlist; I'd expect quite a lot of the past two albums over the old personally, as they won't want to replicate the 2004 setlist.

Gotta be a difficult job headlining again, as comparisons will always be made to 2004 and I'd argue would need to change it up; eg. similar to radiohead's 2003 to the 1997 where played 10 new, 9 the same.

No one bigger than Take that or the Spice Girls either,

.. it's safe to say you can't justify a bands sucess puerly on there record sales or their capacity to sell places out, because, sadly...

... people are 'effing idiots

stones yea, in 1932... Saw the stones 2 years ago and they were shocking. Think they'd definately struggle to sell out as many dates at wembley as muse. And anyone choosing to go to a gig like this would have a really big dissappointment. Soleless and just 'going through the motions'

And think about record sales nowadays. Look at last.fm for play counts on ipods and PC's. Pretty sure muse have higher than stones.... And of Muse being modern times, where records and CD's are easier available, im pretty sure you're wrong about that too.

And take that arent a band really are they? Barlow does piano buyt thats about it.

I cant wait for muse.

the minute you start mentioning last.fm in an arguement about musical credentials, you've just been owned.

Jesus,

Enjoy Muse, it's not gonna do any good beating each other about the head with it, i'm sure there are gonna be shedloads of bigger suprises elsewere on site!

I can see why you wouldn't accept Last.fm if you refuse to accept record and ticket sales as a measure of success but out of curiosity, what do you see as successful?

Oh, and your own personal taste is not a mesaure of success BTW. I'm not defending Muse or Take That or whoever, I can't stand Westlife for example but I can't deny that they're successful.

Personally? -band's who have stood the test of time and earned a reputation. Along with the record sales. Don't get my wrong, i'm not a big fan of U2, at all, but i haven't once slagged them for their headline spot at Glasto, it'd be stupid too. Because no matter what people say about them, they've been around since 1977 [i think], and have more than earned such a slot as this one.

But i think judging artists on sell out tours and arena slots is compeltely unreliable - the xfactor tours sell out all over england, are these credible to music? Joe Mceldry will probably go platinum with that winning track, along with all the other has beens.

I'm not saying every band who headlines as festival should have as much cultural baggage as u2, or be as long running as the rolling stones or the who - but for the main headliner at Glastonbury's 40th annivarsary, surely Muse is majorly underwhelming, baring in mind what i've said my OPINION is on bands success.

Stevie Wonder, i'm a fan, and i will enjoy his set, and I don't think it can be argued with putting him on.

Obviously people are going to disagree, it's all these forums are dominated with nowadays, but i stand by this as the great glastonbury saturday headliner swindle of 2010.

I don't get this main headliner nonsense at all really, its a tradition thats been broken several times before, imo from looking at past line ups Stevie Wonder seems the best choice for sunday (Locals, more oldies on the pyramid). U2 is purely down to there schedule but what a way to start?! With Muse right in the middle, you could argue they are going to be ignored a bit like the middle child really.

And really, not everyone there is above the age of 25 and wants legends every night. Its the festival of Contemporary Performing arts remember :P . Although I would have loved Pulp but Jarvis and his band don't want to get back together...the same with lot of suggestions in preference to muse.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
