Just because you or I haven't heard it doesn't mean it isn't true. Neil has obviously been told something that makes him 100% certain that Elbow will be playing.

As for Muse, they've been up there for months as SR because Neil is only 99% sure they will be playing. They didn't self-confirm, there's a story on the Muse forums that someone reliable saw their tour schedule backstage at the NME awards and it included R&L. It's likely to be true but obviously isn't good enough info for Neil to move it from SR to TBC, I guess he only deals in information that he gets directly.

How is that complicated?

News about Elbow might have been more quiet because they are only a sub and not as big as Muse? Generally the headliners get more focus and thats another reason why there has been more on muse than elbow

I understand many people's problems with muse, ie they played so many festivals last year, predictable.. etc..

However I've never seen them, looked very good at glasto on TV last year, so will be looking forward to their headline set very much! (bearing in mind if the rumours are correct).

The trouble with muse is if you saw them play in The rain at reading 2002, you know they cant better that performance.

Get what you're saying....it's Glasto get headliners and Reading picks them up the following year.... but Reading have had some belting acts...Pumpkins, 'Tallica, NIN, QOTSA, Radiohead, & may it continue. Muse are excellent live & I know they've gigged & f**ked up with their last album but they still rock.

Muse headlined in 2006, long time before Glastonbury

...2 years after headlining glasto '04

I think the argument of Reading getting Glastonburys previous years acts is a bit pointless as alot of recent headlining bands (Killers, KoL etc) are all getting recycled by the big fests.
