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.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
