What's he building in there?

[thewayiam]

Given the Rise Against date, surely more likely to add UK dates onto the end of August september than Oct/Nov after going back to the states.

[DomDom1984]

Nah. It'll be a one off just to go along with Reading and Leeds. They'll probably play a bigger tour in 2018.

[Mattymooz]

Somethings definitely going on...

I know they've been in the studio a lot recently, but Drones only came out 2 years ago. Unless maybe its for an album coming out next year (even then it seems really soon to be doing new music)

On the youtube thread it has Muse: 2017 with the two BTS videos on it... definitely something new this year...

[DomDom1984]

2 years isn't exactly an outlandish gap between albums.

For Muse I think it is. Wasn't it like 4 years between 2nd Law and Drones?

[DomDom1984]

It's been three years most times recently. But I'd imagine that if they have stuff and are ready to go, it wouldn't be a big shock to see more new stuff.

Personally, I think it might be an EP to go along with the new US tour and UK shows, or maybe even just a new song, but there definitely seems to be something coming.

I see the Reading Friday/Leeds Saturday NME stage only has ten acts announced, compared to the other two days that have twelve. I'm guessing there'll be a couple more names to come, then. Death Grips maybe?

Secret set probably. If there is a TBA act, it'll be one with a clear reason not to have been given away with the other 97% of acts announced. Death Grips don't have one, in fact it'd probably just be another Slam Dunk band.

That Chase & Status + Blossoms track is naff. I really shouldn't care but C&S were absolutely killing it with More Than Alot and No More Idols and it's looking like their new stuff is going to be as poor as their previous album .

I dunno, this is kinda giving me hope (and the Tom Grennan collab was pretty good imo):

But they do seem to be working with a lot of rock bands (Blossoms & Slaves) which is very weird imo.

[DomDom1984]

Thought the Slaves collaboration was incredible myself. One of my favourite songs of last year.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good too.

I think we are in the minority though, ha ha.

[Baggins7]

I liked the song with Slaves too and saw C&S live at T in the Park last summer and the song worked well in their set. Couldn't see the Blossoms song fitting in, it never really gets going

[JSmurphy]

Korn at Brixton Academy Wednesday 23rd August.

I was actually gonna make a joke about being the bringer of Muse news, and call it Mews, but I couldn't be bothered.

Not sure if anyone has seen it but the s**t has hit the fan with PWR BTTM.

Allegations of multiple sexual assaults (ironic as they were promoting 'safe spaces' at gigs)

Not sure they'll be at Reading/Leeds as they are not sure if their tour will go ahead

Never been a fan. The cynic in me felt it all seemed a bit disingenuous and that they saw an untapped market to exploit. It's not just sexual assaults it's throwing insults at the LGBT community too. 

[thewayiam]

Anyone manage to grab a Rise Against ticket at The Garage?

[JSmurphy]

PWR BTTM situation is a fucking mess. They've hit RCK BTTM.

Similar thing happened with Cabbage not long ago. Not sure what came about from it though (if anything). Lead singer allegedly sexually assaulted a female fan at the gig with her dad. Multiple videos emerged after that of him on stage indecently touching himself on stage after profusely denying it.
