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

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
