Yeah but might be different to being quite so big amongst the people coming to Glastonbury - though to be honest that difference is a lot less than it used to be.

This is the kind of rumour we like to mix things up a bit!

But it sounds completely implausible to me. Like others, the only way I can see it is if they're headlining Other at the same time as Adele. In that case I would think BMTH would sub them, and if we're thinking they're Sunday, could Adele actually be Sunday too?

Or maybe Adele is 'headlining' but Muse are on after on the Pyramid? A co-headline possibly?

Totally bonkers rumour!

I'm with Mardy on this one. However, I do welcome any possibility of Muse not being one of our Pyramid headliners

Muse have been one of my favourite bands since I first went to see them in 2003, and I still love them live despite disliking a lot of their new material, but I'm increasingly worried that if they are playing and not headlining that we might get Drones - The Musical

if they play they will only headline, why would you even think otherwise?

Only after seeing this

So here's a thought.

If Muse weren't a headliner but were somewhere else on the bill, where would they play?

Some people have mentioned it, but is there no chance at all that they could be adding an extra day of music on the Thursday and Muse are the fourth headline act? Are there any concrete reasons why that absolutely couldn't happen? (genuinely asking)

Licensing reasons I'd wager.

That's what I suspected, but it'd be nice to know for certain if it were possible!

[paulmuchmore]

And there's 0% chance they'd have Muse at William's Green on the Thursday. Would be dangerous!

I nearly got killed at Wolf Alice last year so I hate to think what'd happen if Muse played there...!

Jesus that would be horrific to try and manage

Self fulfilling prophecy, everyone keeps banging on about it, eventually everyone gives and goes out of curiosity to see the crowd size/what Adele will actually do.

 Muse doing a secret set? Mhmm possible, they did those smaller club shows, maybe they asked to do a secret John Peel set or something? Seems ludicrous but if they could keep it under wraps/had the right size other acts going on.

I wouldn't see the point in them doing the Other stage as a headliner, their current show is going have to have be cut down for festivals anyway. (As it is most years they tour with a massive new set)

Like neil alluded to, the only way that happens is if they're on at same time as Led Zeppelin or Stones or a resurrected Beatles or omesuch

nope, that's not what I alluded to.

I simply used to stones to demonstrate that the audience for Muse on the other stage can be tempered by the competition they might have at the same time.

The suggestion made to me - which I don't know to be true - is that they might play Pyramid but not as headliner.

I didn't know the suggestion to you was that they might play the pyramid but not headline, that is interesting, surely they wouldn't sub? That would then leave the legend slot, which would be, I dunno weird maybe?

Muse headlining, but with Adele on drums.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Could it be a co-headline type situation Neil?

Picture it: Adele's on stage, belting out her stuff a capella "Nevermind I'll find someone like..... MUUUUSSSSE!" 

The boys drop from the rafters on wires and fire straight into Plug In Baby while Adele headbangs along below. 

And thus, Glastonbury history is made.

I guess it could tho someone would have to play last and would be considered the headliner.

From what was said to me, that wouldn't be Muse.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Show finishes with Adele flying over the crowd on a drone, radio controlled by M. Eavis

[FloorFiller]

Muse playing the Pyramid but not headlining? nah, i just don't see it, unless, like i said earlier, they were DESPERATE to play again but the headliners were booked up so they agreed to sub/a lower position, but that'd be like something we've never seen before and it'd be impossible to argue that they were essentially a fourth headliner

Would Muse play second fiddle to the Foos perhaps?

Who could Muse co-headline with is the problem then, could maybe bring Biffy Clyro back into the frame 

[jparx]

Muse to sub Radiohead
