Muse are set to break in the new Wembley Stadium this weekend (June 16-17)?

Is there anybody here who will be attending?

Cheers,

I've seen Muse on a number of occasions and they always put on an excellent show. However, I get the feeling you're in for an extra special treat on Sunday.?

Have a wonderful time,
W.R.

I saw them open a show for Depeche Mode last year.

What a great opening act they were.

And what an amazing headlining act they are as well, crowd was intense. They played for just over 2 hours, all of the hits were done. They played my favorite song 2nd from last Stockholm Syndrome which sounded amazing. Only 2 complaints 1) MCR suck big time, i officially really really hate this fucking band. 2) the organisation of getting cars out the venue is shit over 1 hour to leave.

Wonderful show indeed. Funny crowd too: you could see big guys on Iron Maiden t-shirts next to little girls all dressed up like if they were clubbing. My ears are still ringing, but not from the show, from the screaming girl standing next to me. Fuck! Those lungs...?

The new Wembley is really impressive, you feel so small in there... I was thinking to myself how great a GNR show in there would be... But they really need to do something about the transport problem: Public transport is awful and it took us an hour to get the car out...

Oh, and having to endure the whole MCR set was really a torture...

Anyway, here's a review form the Evening Standard:

Best live band find their Muse at new Wembley

By Andr? Paine, Evening Standard? 18.06.07 More reviews by Andr? Paine? ?


After initially being derided as Radiohead copyists several years ago, the West Country trio Muse are now routinely described as Britain's best live band.

The old Wembley's inferior acoustics might have tested that reputation, and some George Michael fans complained about the new venue last week.

But Muse's brainy heavy metal and prog-pop was effectively realised in a spectacular 68,000-capacity performance last night.

The first half of Muse's second Wembley show was mildly disappointing, though, not least because an 8pm start meant it was staged in daylight for an hour. That almost killed the atmosphere, as did the announcement that, despite the early finish, we could expect travel chaos on the way home anyway with the closure of the Metropolitan line.

Amid a storm of glitter and cheers, Muse emerged into the middle of the crowd and made their way awkwardly across a walkway to the stage.

They opened with Knights of Cydonia, a combination of spaghetti western music, futuristic electro-rock and end of days imagery.

While it sounded impressive, their stiffness on that walkway seemed to linger in their performance - although at least singer Matt Bellamy's bright red suit meant he was always visible.

Several songs in, though, there was a palpable excitement when Bellamy played the opening notes to their familiar cover of Nina Simone's Feeling Good on his glass-topped piano. "It's a great pleasure to be playing in this beautiful new venue," he said, and the band started to loosen up.

By Invincible - a stadium rock moment equal to U2 - they were hitting their stride.

The stage, sandwiched by giant screens, came to life during the superb Starlight, with a shower of sparks and massive, swivelling satellite dishes that trained spotlights on the audience.

But they topped that with a pair of acrobats attached to huge white balloons that drifted over the audience during Blackout.

Incredibly, the acrobats were able to rotate in midair and descend to within several feet of the crowd.

"You're sensational," Bellamy told the fans, who moshed heartily during Plug In Baby. And for an hour at least, so was he.

They played my favorite song 2nd from last Stockholm Syndrome which sounded amazing.

I like that one. I remember hearing it in Stockholm....

New CD is out "The Resistance".

Muse gets better and better with each album. This one is bigger and better than BHAR.

With this album Muse will probably get the grammy next year for best rock album (although I wish they gave it to GNR). Album opens with "Uprising" (single) but "undisclosed desires", "guiding light" and "unnatural selection" are the best tunes for me.

I'll be cacthing them live in Madrid in late november. I've heard they are an amazing live act.

[AxlReznor]

The Resistance is a fantastic album (as always from Muse - they're one of the best bands in the world right now).  My favourites are MK Ultra, and the three-part symphony, Exogenesis.

[cotis]

anyone a fan of these guys? been awhile since anyone posted in here. seeing them in Philly/NYC/Boston in March. can't wait!

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Love 'em. Saw them in November, kicked asses hardly!
The stage setup was just phenomenal

[cotis]

kicked so much ass last night in Philly. one of the best (if not the best) concerts I've ever been to.

[w.axl.rose]

even thought you were all the way in the back 

[cotis]

I know, I can't imagine if I was in the pit...

[Verse Chorus Verse]

even thought you were all the way in the back 

I was too. I was ticked that I couldn't see Silversun Pickups (at least they had those projectors on Muse's columns at least, so you could see the band members at least), but oh well. I was dazzled by their stage set up, but as a live band they didn't impress me too much. There was a lot of chemistry between the members, and it just seemed very rehearsed. At least they sounded spot on, though.
