Muse

The Fresh Prick of Bell-End, that's what I call him.

So confused about this whole muse business... Too bad, it would have added to the incredible-ness of Bestival!

Looks like the Muse booking was

Check RdB's reply to @lickle_pickle ... Muse are no longer playing

I hope he's going to give that poor girl on Twitter he said he'd give her money back to if Muse weren't playing her money back!

[smogo]

She told him not to worry about it, it's going to be amazing anyway.

Lol!

[Homer]

Kind of works either way for me. I'm not a Muse fan so intrigued to see what happens, but am happy to watch them in that slot if they do actually turn up!

[Zacko]

The way all this has been handled is an absolute shit show haha 

[jonodillieono]

So The Libertines to play instead, it'd be a completely original idea having them play an unannounced set on a festival mainstage

[LondonTom]

Ed Sheeran but not part of the X tour

 

 

Very odd about Muse, must have been their Download contract or something kicking in. Hopefully though it means they want to play it and maybe will finish up the tour their next year?

 

(Suits me as I can't go this year anymore )

The Drones tour won't finish next year,it will go until summer 2017.

Is this sarcasm at work?

 

Anyway I reckon special guests will be Chic Featuring Nile Rogers.

A poor attempt at it

If Muse were to play they'd surely be one of if not the most expensive act on the lineup so with them pulling out Bestival will have quite a fair bit of money left in the pot. Do we reckon they'll manage to get someone big or will it be something appalling like the Kaiser Chiefs?

[Bisque]

I don't think it will be a band for some reason.

[Homer]

Hold on, did I really read above that The Kooks were a 'special' guest last year?! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[smogo]

Well, an unannounced surprise act in the Big Top one afternoon.

[Homer]

Jesus Christ...

[Bisque]

Kooks got a decent sized crowd too. Was listening to them outside the bar with LondonTom

[aidenlangan95]

Someone stole my pirate hat during the Kooks. Thankfully I found it afterwards but still was crap at the time.

[Bisque]

I was getting pretty drunk sat outside the tent by the bar when they came enjoying people watching & couldn't be arsed to move. No idea why they were considered special guests/worthy of not being announced unless it was a very late booking.

Not that I was that bothered about seeing them anyway, but it seemed like a prime opportunity to leave to get physio (from my mate who is a physio), because some random dickhead had rugby tackled me briefly before, destroying my Wilson fancy dress, and fucked my back up, and made me lose my sunglasses, all in one swift motion. My back was fucked for about 3 weeks afterwards. I hope he fell off the ferry on the way home. Only dickhead I've ever encountered at besti. But the amount of people around who saw it and came to check I was alright somewhat restored a bit of the faith I have in the besti crowd

[jonodillieono]

I met a Wilson, it may if been you.

If my memory is correct the front half was wilson and the back half was a disco ball

[Staff_Sav]

Nah, I didn't do any disco bling on mine. But I think I was the biggest Wilson there. I'll try and post a photo, dunno how to do it from my mobile
