Their day didn't sell out in 2018 i don't think at either site?

 

The bigger issue though is that they won't do much for weekend ticket sales i think

If this is true I stand corrected 😅

I've thought they might turn up at TRNSMT and I don't agree with the person that says they wouldn't do BST, especially if they're focused on fests, which seems to be the case.

I mean, Muse have never played Hyde Park - I think I read they were offered it in 2007 but when they got the offer to open the new Wembley chose to do that instead. So I was wondering that maybe they were in a phase of their career to tick off milestones they haven't done before, and Hyde Park I guess counts. Even if I dislike Hyde Park as a venue as I find it too quiet and would rather go somewhere else.

Would've been difficult for Muse to sell out their day in 2018 when they were there in 2017.

 

Saying that, not sure that sold out either. I know they did in 2011, which is why I had to get a second-hand ticket to go, but that was a f**k of a long time ago ofc.

 

I think that for all they still have a healthy enough UK fanbase, it would probably need a strong second-head/sub.

 

EDIT: Well Reading themselves said it sold out at the time. I thought it and the Kasabian day didn't but maybe memory's defective on that one.

They’d sell tickets but unsure if it’d be a sell out. You’d imagine most who want to see them would have seen them 2022-2023 possibly multiple times (anecdotal based off myself and my mates, I must admit). I wouldn’t be too arsed if they were there unless they shake up the setlist and don’t tie it to the WOTP tour.

So if we assume Muse are there...

 

Post Malone / Hozier

Eminem / Central Cee

Muse / Chappell Roan

 

What about Biffy Clyro in some sort of slot? I could see them playing seeing as they are playing a few European festivals

Depends if they’re ready to drop below 2nd headliner. It’ll have to happen at some point as they’re not at their peak anymore, but you’d imagine they’d hold out for a little longer and try for another arena run / TRNSMT / IOW etc before considering lower slots at major festivals / doing the mid-sized Superstruct circuit.

Chappel Roan is second down headliner. Hozier is playing under her. Its a glorified "co-headliner", whilst actually being 2nd and 3rd down.

I’ll bite… 2nd down to who? As many have said CR and BMTH would be great

She is 2nd down to the rock act, as far as I knew it was Foo Fighters, but the rumblings that they dropped out and were replaced by Travis Scott, but those could be the mumbo and I wait for Dan Hancox.

 

Central Cee into Post Malone.

He was definitely in the 2024 thread around the time the lineup was released. Can’t remember if he leaked the lineup, mind you. I wouldn’t mind another sh*t sandwich

Just checked, he became active 21st November 23.  The lineup was released 2 days later.

 

He didnt post any news other than 4/18 to a predicted lineup. Those 4 were Blink, Fred, Wombats, Raye. He knew the lineup then. But didnt give any other info.

 

He was last active here last December.

Ah yeah that rings a bell. I tried going back but I’m useless at navigating eFestivals! I wonder what year he last leaked a substantial amount of the lineup? I seem to remember he fed us a fair amount of the 2020 lineup but not so much 2021 or 2022.
