Speculation on future gigs/tours

I think V 2013 is more likely. Otherwise they'd have covered pretty much every festival they can do in a matter of 3 years. Personally I prefer at least a 4 year gap between headline festival performances, but meh

I really want to go to the first gig of the next tour but I don't trust the setlists. Also, I wonder where they'll start putting Uprising in the setlists if it's not opening anymore...

"At the recent festival awards, organisers of the festival refused to comment on the matter of Muse headlining", for obvious reasons really.

I had a look at that in the shop, I thought Muse were named as possibles for T and V and also Sonisphere.

I don't get this assumption that metal fans can't tolerate any song that's not pure balls-out metal. Really.

Is Sonisphere a heavy sort of festival then? Could be a test of endurance waiting for Muse to come on if you're not generally into heavy metal

Pretty much. It's heavier than Reading.

Edit: Last year's line-up.

Earplugs required then

I don't generally like seeing Muse at festivals I prefer seeing them do their own gigs, but a tour isn't likely till 2013 I suppose.

Don't really fancy V as the lineup last year was odd, mis-matched and chavvy, as I recall.

T might be OK but I think people were unenthusiastic about their performance last time they were there. They don't seem to 'do' Scotland much, I guess they're less likely to get as many of their fans at T than at V.

Sonisphere might be OK. The heavy metal might be interesting for a change

I can think of a few people I know that would fit that stereotype. They really bug me. Of course there will always be a few that are different

I think it's sort of in the middle between Reading and Download in terms of heaviness

I've seen a few people call Muse weak music since it's not very heavy.

I reckon I could cope. I would deffo bring earplugs though

It'll certainly be very different from Florence and Rihanna

Well those kind of idiots don't deserve to be catered for. But I know the type you mean.

I imagine if they did do Sonisphere though they would try and bring out a slightly rockier set. They said last year for Rock AM Ring that because it was a slightly heavier festival their set was a little heavier. It still had stuff like UD and Resistance etc. but they also included MK Ultra and US among others, at a festival

It would be a good opportunity to bring back Showbiz, I reckon.
