Just the song showbiz, maybe muscle museum if you're very lucky but no more

Hope they at least play New Born, can't understand why they drop that one. They're hardly getting any new fans so if they still want to sell out stadiums they should pander the shit out of their fanbase

Muse gig last night was nuts. Such an incredible set. 7/10 songs I requested were played .

[Mattymooz]

TBH the new song they played looked pretty weak, but other than that everything else looked dope. Hope they pull it off at the weekend too!

They didn't play any new songs - nothing post-2007 in fact.

[jakecase]

Probably just a rumour. But there's confirmation that Em's first single will feature P!nk nevertheless, with her playing V this weekend, could be around for Reading/Leeds shows?

Wasn't easily new? (thought thats what it said on their instagram and I didnt recognise it, plus the snippet had the modern awful Muse lyrics lol)

It's a b-side from Starlight. Only just given it a listen and yeah it's not great, but never been played live before which is why it was included I guess.

[Mattymooz]

Any ideas? Guessing they may have been bumped up the lineup but I dunno where they would be moved to if that NME slot is for the secret slot

Just seen that QOTSA have a studio session in Brussels on Sunday and one in France on Monday so not sure what this means for them doing both Reading and Leeds.

Reading Friday and Leeds Saturday, I should think.

According to their Twitter, yes they are. No idea when though

Cool. I'm hoping it's all announced today and the not one stage per day method they have done in the past.

Indeed - announcing the main stage on its own is pretty pointless as gives no clue about clashes! Others might remember better than me, but I think last year it was all in one go though

They've made a big deal this year about when specifically the times will be announced, so I'm guessing they're all coming at once now. Even by Festival Republic's standards, even they must have realised how monumentally stupid it was to stagger the release of the stage times.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

They knew what they were doing with the staggering. Making it so some people would miss some stages before leaving and have to buy lanyards.

[JSmurphy]

Yeah. Each year I've left with an early-bird ticket without knowing the times for a few stages.

May have missed this already... this is obviously another secret set

Anyone worked it out yet?
