Regarding muse.....

Hello, I'm well aware there a numerous threads about muse headling on Saturday etc.... and I don't want to piss on anyones biscuits or anything...

but at what point has anyone said they will be Headlining? M Eavis mentioned they are playing, the info from eFests a while back was that they'd be playing but not in a slot you'd expect, and there is still no update on the official site, which according to the news (BBC 6 Music) was going to be updated by the end of the day yesterday... (02-02).

Just a thought.

Although the Glastonbury festival press office would not confirm these rumours, they admitted that they were in talks with both acts."We would love Stevie Wonder to play but nothing has been confirmed yet," they told the Guardian. "There has also been a lot of speculation about whether Muse will be headlining, but we can't confirm anything at the moment. We are still in talks."

So if I gently apply a dose of healthy, wild speculation, this means that Muse AREN'T Pyramis headliners on Sat, but may be Other Stage.

Soooooooooooooo.

Who pips Muse to the prime spot then? Radiohead (please oh God please oh God please oh God)?

Everyones entitled to an opinion but lets just deal with facts here..... There are a select few bands who can shift shitloads of tickets for big gigs...Muse shift tickets faster and in greater quantity than almost any other band currently touring.Love them or loathe them, they are the number one 'modern?' super band and as such fully deserve to be headliners. And I for one can't wait :P

what a shout this is!! not for radiohead to headline instead [no offence] - but imagine if we've all been duped into thinking they are 100% for the pyramid ... i mean they probably are, but it'd be f**king incredible if this got flipped around on us and we got the mighty Zep or something.

Also, didn't Emily say we should believe all the rumours we've been hearing lately about them headlining on saturday ... at the same time big M said they are headlining. [not mentioned the pyramid i don't think]?

ooof my hearts beatin like a rabbit

These must be really strong rumours, but at the end of the day that's all they are - rumours. They might be correct and all that, but until we get official confirmation then we (should) take them with a pinch of salt.

And anyway...maybe they have got someone MASSIVE booked as well(even more massive than Stevie) and this rumour is being used to keep us all happy so we don't find out. Gotta love optimism :P

If Muse don't headline, they'll be on the Pyramid before U2. I've a mate who is good friends with Muse's sound engineer (who was none too pleased at ME jumping the gun and revealing that Muse were playing while they still have tickets available for their stadium shows!), and as usual he's remaining tight lipped about their plans. But he did say that the short switchovers at festivals meant that U2 want somebody they are familiar touring with on before them so there's minimal set up involved (with no real soundcheck as such, they could feabily just use Muse's set up). Muse fit that bill, but then so do Snow Patrol (who incidently also have Muse's sound engineer from time to time), and a whole heap of other bands. They'll probably headline but I would expect them on the Pyramid in any case.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
