I saw Muse play BH&R in full when they first toured the album, granted I was a bigger fan than I am now, but I was still disappointed. Absolution in full would've been brilliant. 

Agreed. Saw the same gig (Wembley arena night 2 I think it was) - they played the whole lot in a row then. Don't think BH&R is that a big deal - would rather an Absolution tour as you say!

Was Nottingham for me. They seemed to change the set list at the last moment.

Acoustic Stage. They'd blow our tiny minds 

Edit - seriously though?

The festival say they have booked Radiohead, but it turns about to be Muse in wigs with the Cheeky Girls. People see this straight away and are stunned by the festival's lack of honesty, but learn to forgive once they see Matt flying around in his own UFO while performing Revolt as a one man band. Dom Howard then whips out a stick, which turns out to be the same Neuralyzer used in Men in Black and everyone comes away thinking they've seen the best Radiohead set ever, before coming on here and ranking it second in a list of best Radiohead performances.

Yeah, seriously.

i've had a tip saying that's what happening, tho I don't know much more than that.

And I don't know if it's true. It's from a new source, so i've no way of knowing how good it might be.

In theory, because of where the source is, it's more likely to be good than not ... but even the best placed people get to hear baseless gossip now and then and might repeat it, so without a history I can't really rate it.

So basically you've had a tip of a Muse secret set

And i'm gonna guess, the reason why Muse were rumoured to be one of the headliners is because there was info out there that they were playing - and thats what you recieved

(now comes the speculation)

Muse were the backup for a headliner they were after (Adele) and if Adele agrees they play a secret set - but if she disagrees they headline.

So in theory Muse were in the running for the saturday slot. Coldplay as rumoured are doing the sunday slot

which leaves the friday free

FOR RADIOHEAD

Further hope for Radiohead , would be crazy having muse not headlining. Maybe they have just asked to play?

Nope, it didn't sound like it.

I was asking where they might be announced on the bill apart from headliner.

nope, not that either. I'd previously had what I believe to be good info with them very definitely in the headliner slot.

Which is why i don't much believe this new idea, amongst others.

But nit's an idea, so i thought I'd try it out.

Do you reckon that Muse could be considered for legends slot, I know it sounds strange, but they have been since the mid 90's and have various hits and number 1 albums... I don't think it would be conceivable but it would fit in with the real coup, not rumoured for the slot thing

    • The Great Fete Festival (Sunday Only) Ocean Colour Scene day on Tickets For Good.
    • I was also at Ghost but seated. When they scanned my ticket's and they came up as seated they printed a small ticket with the seat number info.
    • I was standing for Ghost at O2 London last year where they put the phone in a pouch beforehand so I assume they're is a mechanism in place for people in seats. 
    • Most likely not, keeping an eye on Tixel and Twickets might be the best option.
