Why Muse?

[Matt42]

Look shit thread I know, but I don't care I've just been trying to work something out for a while.

When did we start considering Muse one of the most likely headliners?

I can't remember if it was the daily mail article or the sun article, what pieces of information have we had that points to Muse?

I accepted it in the past because there didn't really seem to be any other strong rumour, but if they are headlining this year it's got to be the strangest booking of the festival in a long while for me. The Second year of their touring cycle, they didn't play that long ago - plus they have played an awful lot.

Neil has also said that he considers Muse most likely, and of course that's got to be from other sources we don't know about, but I must admit i've very much missed where the Muse rumour really originated from.

Why 42?

Because God is unmerciful and pitiless in the face of your despair.

Some radio interview matt BELLamy did. 

just like he confirmed Muse for Bestival last year during the snooker. the guy's full of shit. Muse aren't playing

[Tuna]

I thought that actually fell through though, FF. Especially since Rob Da Bank was hardly being subtle about it! I think they could still happen for Bestival this year, as an actual headliner.

 

Edit: So much so, that I am actually quite confident that between Glastonbury and Bestival, Radiohead and Muse will be headliners. Which way round is yet to be seen.

Muse have headlined Glastonbury twice,the last time being 6 years ago. Well overdue I think.

Radiohead have headlined twice, the last time thirteen years ago. a bit more overdue. also, they aren't shit

[metallimuse]

Each their own, both bands can lay claim to a headline slot.

I remember when Muse weren't shit. It was a simpler time. A happier time.

[Spindles]

Muse made their best music while Radiohead were in their experimental period, as soon as Radiohead got back to making great albums Muse' decline started.  Proof if ever needed that Matt Bellamy is some sort of evil succubus.

[Mash011]

I for one can't wait for Radiohead's Drones.

Maybe Muse / this thread is summat to do with that #TBT throw back Thursday twitter 'thing', whatever it is.

King of limbs was complete shite. Radiohead most overhyped band on this board

Now, that's nonsense. Hot Chip are a fine band, perfectly rated by most on the board, and their WH headline slot confirmed that last year, pure euphoria from start to finish 

[ghostdancer1]

haven't they made a big song and dance about this new 360degree stage show that they're going to have too? i know they can still just adapt it back for a normal stage, but still...

You, Matt, Chris and Dom will have a blast

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gonna be like an atom bomb going off when Matt, Rodger and Barnaby walk out onto that stage and fire into the opening riff from Pure Morning.

Drones > King of Limbs 

I went there. Not because Drones is amazing but because King of Limbs is just bad, like shit. There are 2 good songs on it. Live it's decent but the record is awful
