Amazing. My first Muse gig (and first ever gig) was Birmingham NEC 2003 followed by both Earls Court shows. Such great times. I still have the poster for that Absolution UK arena tour. Tickets were £14!!!

All for £8 a ticket.

 

Anyone who went to that tour some 24 years on must see that as extraordinary value for money, not least given Muse & Coldplay have spent years playing venues that charge £8 a drink.

All a very long time before my first Muse show, which was at London O2 in November 2009.

 

Indeed that 1999 show with Skunk Anansie was probably before the Dome that now houses the O2 even opened.

That would be cool tbf. I mean, the Cydonia in Knights of Cydonia is a region of Mars that contains rock formations some conspiracy types think look like pyramids, so would feel like the closest to imagine playing a gig in Cydonia.

Pretty left field booking (and first major US headliner for Victorious).  I really hope this does not rule out Pulp who are the ultimate Victorious headliner.  

They did have Flaming Lips headline one year, but I guess KOL are bigger?

Flaming Lips are hardly major anymore whereas KOL headlined R&L only a few years back

Sunday it is!

[roonboyz08]

Just got email saying "who is headlining Sunday?" With the picture of castle field clue. So KOL for Sunday night.

[Terry Smith]

I saw KOL at BST this summer and they was fantastic.Ive followed them since 2004 and I’ve never seen one bad show an absolute stonking booking imo.Such a tight fantastic band and in for one am overjoyed

The ‘biggest’ headliner has tended to play the Sunday at victorious. I am starting to get the feeling we won’t see pulp and they will be added to board masters.
