I think it’s a timing thing. I’m sure it will sell out but maybe after the O2 gigs. We’ve seen him at Glastonbury and twice since and have booked to see him at The 02. Even ignoring the fact we are waiting to see if he headlines Glastonbury, it’s a lot for people to book tickets for a second gig for the same album they haven’t been to the first one for. We’ll book the London Stadium show if he’s not at Glastonbury I think
It’s insane isn’t it. Where Muse was to where they are now it’s insane. Releasing showbiz back in 1999, Origin of Symmetry in 2001 and that getting to No2 in the UK Charts and every album studio album since being No1. Headlining Reading and Glastonbury 3 times each. Being the first band to sell out Wembley Stadium being in 2007. They had such a quick rise to fame along with Coldplay. Iv seen Muse a lot in my life but I’m still quite young so when I’m talking to people about Muse and they know who I’m talking about it’s almost a surprise to me because I’m so used to people my age not knowing them. I always get told like between 2006-2013 they were so well known everywhere. What I would give to have experienced that
No idea what happened with Franz, they got off to a better start than most any other indie band of the 2000s but seemed to run out of steam by the third album commercially, although I find it quite decent myself. They shouldn't be that low down in the lineup
They headlined Truck in 2017 and now they’re a sub or third down next year so they seem to be okay with lower slots. Shockingly low slot at Boardmasters too.
