smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Wonder what that was all about then. Wonder if we'll ever find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnytee1 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Wonder what that was all about then. Wonder if we'll ever find out. Very strange! I've followed Muse for years (since the showbiz days) and seen them live over 25 times. It's not like Matt to lie and he's hardly known for his sense of humour! Whatever, it initially made me buy a ticket but ill be going regardless as i love Bestival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe they're a secret surprise guest. Playing the Bandstand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnharding93 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 They just made a comment on Facebook: All headliners now announced but we still have a very special guest to announce plus a selection of other acts across the line-up smile emoticon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Okay, so are Muse playing Saturday night before Annie Mac and The Chemical Brothers...??!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernicer96 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm still very hopeful that Muse are playing! Muse are at Lollapalooza on Sun 13th so would have time to play Besti on Sat 12th - the night of the 'Very Special Guest' Squeeeeeeeeee fingers crossed.

Bisque Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Chems doing a very late set to close the main stage as RDB has got a special late noise licence from IoW council maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Chems doing a very late set to close the main stage as RDB has got a special late noise licence from IoW council maybe? Hmmm, wouldn't even need to be later than normal. Sunset is around 7pm at that time of year, and Annie Mac can play while the stage is being changed over: 19:15-20:45 Muse 20:45-22:15 Annie Mac 22:15-23:45 The Chemical Brothers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be Muse. If not I bet Matt wishes he kept his mouth shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 The way that the Bestival Facebook has been replying to all the "Where's Muse?" queries suggests it is definitely Muse. I wonder if it was supposed to be kept a secret right up until they appeared on stage. (Which would've been a stupid idea because Muse shift tickets.)

jonnytee1 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Muse Annie Mac and the Chemical Brothers is the kind of Line up i could only Dream of!! Looks like its a reality!! Superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Rob da Bank retweeting @Bestival's reply to @Muse_News - "We still have a very special guest to announce!" - has to be the closest thing we've got to a confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I imagine what happened is that Muse were originally booked for Friday, but then decided they could only make the Saturday. But the Chems had already been announced for Saturday, so this is how it's ended up. We could even find out when the change happened if we looked back through Duran Duran's tweets for their announcement that they were now playing Friday instead of Saturday.

Ed209 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 So I just bumped into Matt Bellamy at Newton Abbot station (he was waiting outside for his mum to pick him up, bless), so I asked him if Muse were playing bestival and he said "no", I said I thought they were the special guests and he said "definitely not". Said about download and something about a UK tour coming up early next year. Nice guy. Very polite. So there you have it folks. Straight from the horses mouth. Unless he wasn't prepared to say yes, he seemed pretty adamant though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Odd considering it came from the horse's mouth that they were playing Bestival. Maybe he thought you were a drone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff_Sav Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Think when he said it at the snooker he wasn't supposed to say anything, and one of two things has happened. Either he has ballsed up the secrecy contract where they werent to be announced and they now aren't playing. Or they've been told to say no to everyone if anyone asks. I like the think the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Bestival have been replying to tweets/facebook posts from Muse fan accounts and not denying it. Its definitely Muse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any recent ones, I remember them teasing it a while though. Maybe it's fell through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I did see some girl tweeted RDB and said 'Come on, I'm about to pay £300, is it them?" and he replied 'If you're disappointed, I'll give you the money myself'. It's Muse. And I don't even like Muse. (Though I'll probably go and watch them in this context.) Edited August 11, 2015 by Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 it's weird that he'd say it so bluntly in a TV interview but wouldn't just tell a fan asking him on the street (although at the time of the interview maybe they were still lined up to headline and not just appear as special guests - the Duran Duran 'bump up' happened after the snooker interview right?)
