Muse

[brettredmayne]

Maybe muse wanted to play and Glastonbury has a free spot on the pyramid and the band didn't mind not headlining.

Muse to sub Radiohead 

they're (obviously) huge fans so i doubt they'd be against it, but it'd still be weird for them to do considering they're a headliner in their own right. it's not even like Muse are a particularly small headliner/band who could slip down to sub - they're still huge over here (albeit not quite as huge as they were a few years back)

biffy wouldn't play after muse, no way.

I didn't think that, but I wouldn't think it's impossible for them to be billed as co-headliners 

Surely they wouldn't go all reading and have a dance headliner on after Muse?

i thought that, but what dance act could even be considered big enough to justify bumping Muse down, unless that Jean Michel Jarre stuff was right and he demanded darkness/a closing set?

That could happen, but if it were JMJ I think the mass exodus from the pyramid field would prove it was a strange move

yeah i can't imagine a bunch of knackered sweaty Muse fans sticking around for this guy and his laser harp

[FuzzyDunlop]

It's obvious.

 

Muse are the sunday legend

[gluther]

They couldn't be copying R&L in having a headline size act open a stage could they? I know Neil said it's not supposed to be a secret set but it wouldn't have to be.

I could imagine a lot of people hanging around to watch someone like The Prodigy, but I don't think that's overly likely to happen at all, it would really be a case of hanging around though, cause muse would be on much earlier? 

[arcade fireman]

I really can't see Muse playing while it's still light out. Would be extremely surprised. They might not have their full stage show at Glasto but they'd still have a light show etc of sorts. I'm not a massive fan but I doubt they've played in the daylight since their second album.

Muse were booked.

Thom Yorke rings up Emily and asks to headline.
 

Emily asks muse to subheadline to Radiohead.

Possible?

The Prodigy are probably smaller now than the last time they headlined Other so i don't see them being bumped up to Pyramid

literally the only thing i can see happening is that Muse begged to play (for some reason) and they just stuck em wherever they could (gotta be as a sub - anything lower than sub would seem odd, both for fact they're a huge act and one who wouldn't really work slap bang in the middle of the day)

i still think nothing will come of this, mind, and they'll either be headlining or not there at all

that's just about the one thing I think is impossible.

Muse spent the early part of their career fighting off "radiohead clone" comments.

Even if Radiohead were to play, I just can't see Muse being the act who'd play before them.

But they had to fight off those comments for a reason - they clearly admire Radiohead as a band immensely. But I guess they want to exist in their own right yes

[Mouseboy11]

Possible they asked Muse to fit in under Adele as a sort of 4th headliner due to Radiohead becoming available late on?

[FloorFiller]

Neil, if what you heard was true about Muse at least being pencilled in as a headliner at some point then surely this means they essentially stepped down as headliner willingly to make way for another? which seems rather strange

[wilem]

With all this Radiohead stuff going on - I only see the change possible as a reaction to Radiohead surely? (Please)

I feel we're simply experiencing this year's 'Emeli Sande moment'

Yeah, I can't help but feel this will be one of those things that we look back and laugh at the absurdity of it.

Edit: Maybe people won't laugh much when Muse and not Radiohead headline actually.

yep, I'd guess that's what it would mean. Nothing else would seem to make sense.

But ... it's probably more likely that what was said to me was the bit that wasn't making sense.

Yeah, there's nothing even remotely funny about that.

that one was all my own doing, just from blue-skying the idea of possible female headliners. I said from the off it was wacky, tho not 100% off the scale.

This one isn't mine. It's something that's been said to me. It might even be true (tho I doubt it), who knows?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The beautiful image of Radiohead playing to a disinterested crowd at Strathallan Castle who don't know who they are but know right enough that they aren't Calvin Harris - while at Glastonbury Dave Bellamy and the lads are doing the Super Sexy Big Funky Black Hole song.
