Speculation on future gigs/tours

[Dee3Dee]

I thought they weren't doing festivals?

European ones, no.

[Mitton]

I live in Sunderland city centre, can see the SOL from where im sitting.

 

I have everything crossed

 

Heworth for me

[deborafraga]

Yeah. http://www.rockinrio.com.br/blog/muse-e-alice-in-chains-sejam-bem-vindos/

:awesome:

Wembley is not a great venue. It's meh at best (Still better than the O2). Sound isn't great if you're near the back and it's the fifth, sixth and maybe seventh stadium show they'll have played at Wembley in a row.

 

Is Wembley easier to get to than the Emirates? Yes.

 

Is it a better venue? No.

 

Is it repetitive and boring (like Muse themselves have been for the past 4 years)? Yes

 

It's all well and good for you n00bs who have never been but for those who have been over and over and over and over, it gets a bit tiresome.

There is a Twitter claim (since deleted) The Killers are playing at Wembley on June 22nd 2013.

You're probably in the <1% who are actually bothered by it though. The idea of Muse at Wembley is always exciting to me.

Exactly what I thought. It doesn't matter if they do the same venue again, just that you get to see them is enough.

[Frakkles]

That's a very dismissive and rather condescending statement. I don't see why it matters what percentile my opinion falls into, I'm still allowed to state how I feel.

 

Regardless, that assumption than less than 1% of people are bothered by it is absurd.

Sorry if you felt that way, I just felt it to be a bit nit-picky considering the amount London gets in comparison to some other places. I never implied you weren't allowed to state how you feel as I do understand where you're coming from, but you made it sound more disasterous than it really is. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick, but to me it seemed a fairly harshly worded post considering the topic.

 

And I meant bothered to the point of it being a make or break situation. At the end of the day you're still watching the same show, and the Emirates isn't that different to Wembley anyway. The sound wasn't great when I went there in the summer, it was also REALLY quiet for a stadium.

Wembley is bigger than any other stadium in London, simple as that.

[Frakkles]

But they don't sell it out. They don't use all the seats, they could easily fit 100,000 plus but they didn't have more than 70,000 each night and they could get that many at Twickenham or around that many at the Emirates so it doesn't even matter.

[WutDaFucksy]

If they do a UK stadium tour, which is what it looks like, then they'll probably do a night at the Emirates as the London leg

[Frakkles]

I still think they'll do at least two London shows.

[hoodoo oz]

I hope they tour Australia sometime next year.

[Gareeh]

I'll travel anywhere a London underground goes to.

[Mkbhattal@googlemail.com]

Wowzers, is it not enough to just get to see Muse play. Does it really matter where it is? As long as you can get to it and can get a ticket to see a band you like... I'm not entirely sure what the issue is?

[FabriPav]

Oh the Wembley announcement was for the killers, 22 June 2013

[brett]

no annoucement today, another wembley one at end of week

Blimey when I found this I wasn't expecting it to be right.

[Gareeh]

They'll struggle to fill Wembley. Muse will be announced soon I expect.

[Tom Wells]

Don't think so. They've sold out Hyde Park a few times, headlined Glasto, T in the Park, V, Oxegen, Reading/Leeds, Coachella, Rock Am Ring, Lollapalooza, etc... And they've sold out 2 nights at the O2, which was in very high demand.

 

But I agree that Muse will probably be announced soon.

[maltesther]

how likely do you guys think it is for the London venue of the stadium tour to be Twickenham stadium??

 

tbh i'd rather they did another arena tour, but oh well :/

[Frakkles]

They already did a bunch of arenas. The reason they do two separate legs of the UK tour is so they can have two different groups of shows: one arena, one stadium. It doesn't make any sense to play more arenas when A. they've already sold most of them out and B. they make more money playing stadiums.

Twickenham could eb a good shout, but everything is pointing towards Wembley at the minute.
