Still no clue of what's happening with this 10:00 presale..

I think you have to have bought a Reading/Leeds ticket on the same account for it to show up?

I bought my R&L ticket on the account I'm using now - judging by Twitter the presale is nonexistent at this point.

Check your emails - I had a personal link just sent to me. Two standing tickets bought. Prices are horrific but it is for charity, and I've never seen Muse despite being a fan (obsessive when I was a bit younger). This is pretty much the ideal gig I'd want to see them play. Excited for this.

£90 for a standing ticket can eff right off! It was £50 for them in there a couple of years ago!

Hmm, ok, 4 years ago but still!

It's crazy but Muss doing a tiny gig like that always would be. I went Biffy at Shepherd's Bush 'Charity Gig' and paid over what I nornally would for that setting but Muse just aren't worth it anymore

Yeah but Biffy was about £55. Last time I saw Muse at Shepherds bush it was about £58. This is quite a price hike!

Interesting reviewing back on this thread. Absolutely no chatter about the Pyramid headline slot last year. Did people think it was awesome/ok/dull. I am in the middle tier, I should have quit after seeing them play Origins in full at Reading in 2012.

I just think it was average, standard festival setlist. Underwhelming is the word I'd use

I can't remember a thing about it, and I don't mean that in a fun "oh I so wasted" way. It just left absolutely no impression on me.

It was a lot better than 2010, but no where near as good as when I saw them at Reading 2006, or at their own shows in my opinion.

2010 was so crap. Limp, lifeless, dull set. Says a lot when the Edge coming out for a U2 cover is far and away the best bit of the show.

It was my first Glastonbury, if I could relive that year I would have walked away from them and Gorillaz (who I both like but where bombing in my opinion) yet stayed for the whole set and can't think why. Gorillaz where good but from what I remember just got the flow and pacing all wrong

Yep. £50 + fees last time for standing, £85 + fees this time, so a 70% increase!

If just increasing the price by inflation the ticket price would have been £54!

Glasto was my 10th time seeing them, and came away feeling pretty underwhelmed. It was such a predictable and by the numbers performance. Didn't help that it was essentially a stripped back version of their arena tour that year.

However my mate (not particularly a fan) saw them for the first time and was very impressed.

Also, 10 years since the first Wembley shows. Now THAT was a gig.

I think this is the key thing. If you haven't seen them before, they were great.

If you have seen them before, it's basically the same thing as what they've been doing for 10 years just with the added recent (not so good) songs and loss of some great older songs.

They've gone very stale just playing 'the hits' and a few new songs and they need a big wake up call to bring back that energy they had for Glastonbury 2004 etc.

Also, Matt seems terrified that people at gigs don't react to some rarities, like Dead Star at Download (which seemed to be a great show), and then will refuse to play them at other shows, even small shows, such as their show at Electric Ballroom a few months later.

I could continue with a rant about the amount of pre-recorded bits (New Kind of Kick wtf) but I'll stop myself so I don't bore everyone.

Got tickets to see them next month for the by request show due to the fact I think the set list will be epic but I think aidenlangan95 nailed it with his comment "if you haven't seen them they are epic but if you have it's the same show" although after 20 times live I still enjoy them.

Only time I've been disappointed was at the O2 on the last tour and that I think was only due to the fact I had seated tickets in the gods.

I will say though I used to go see them on multiple London dates on each tour but now I only go to 1 date as they don't switch the set list up enough to justify going to say all 3 shows.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
