forevermusic Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Not sure if this article has been put up yet, but this was said during a press call at the World War Z premiere t'other day: Muse have said they are sure they will be playing a UK gig to mark their 20th year as a band next year. Speaking at the World War Z premiere, which includes music from their new album and was followed by a gig in St James Park, Muse said they hoped to mark the milestone with something special. Singer Matt Bellamy said: "We're not sure, we've been thinking about it. I'm sure we're going to play in the UK somehow, somewhere. "It might be some little gig or a festival or something, but we're going to try and come up with an idea for that, yeah." Drummer Dominic Howard added: "We definitely want to do something special." The band's music is featured in Brad Pitt's zombie movie World War Z and Matt explained how the collaboration came about. He said: "We were making our album and I was actually reading the book World War Z and I loved the book. "The coincidence was that they got in touch with us to get involved with the scoring of the film and we weren't available because we were making the album. Part of the album had a bit of an influence from the book anyway. "A few months later when they started filming they got in touch with us and said they'd love to listen to the album and see if it went in the direction they were looking for. There were two songs that stood out, one in particular Isolated System, which they've used throughout the entire film." Isolated System is on Muse's sixth studio album, The 2nd Law, out now.

forevermusic Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 You'd think for a 20th band anniversary you'd find somewhere better than fucking V Festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withoutanyname Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 November 26th 2014 for their 20th anniversary and they'll play this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-3v_MsZwtc ...And throw Guiding Light in there and close with Starlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 They should go big, and host their own festival to celebrate it... Bring some of their big influence bands in for collaboration and such. U2, Rage, etc. could be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 V Festival. They're due to play there and they've always played great setlists there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 It'd be great if they did a tour, like a few small venues followed by a big gig down in the West Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Would have been interested in knowing what part of the album had been influenced by the book, considering we were all just recently arguing how none of the songs fit the movie. Book was fucking great, btw. Not so sure about the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Possibly, possibly not. Also just says the film people listened to the album, and picked the songs themselves. Didn't Matt say Isolated System had a space theme when he wrote it? About the overcrowded/noisy planet from an outside view? I could have hallucinated that, to be fair. I interpreted "part of the album" as more than one song, but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirdF Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I thought Matt said in that interview that Survival was something to do with WWZ. Like survival instincts and shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you go by what Matt's said about Survival, it's about everything. I desperately hope this 'show' is a Muse headline performance, not a festival appearance. Two nights at a decent venue (ideally not a stadium or massive outdoor venue) would be ace. How about two Earls Court Xmas gigs to mark 20 years of Muse and 10 years since selling out EC twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 2 EC dates for what might be their only UK gigs of the year could end up being an insane rush for tickets. But then so would a festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I hope it's a big venue (Slane Castle?), not Earls Court. Too many fans wouldn't have the chance to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 But massive outdoor gigs suck . I know that indoor gigs are the best but 60-70k (or more) hardcore fans would make a pretty good crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I hope it's a big venue (Slane Castle?), not Earls Court. Too many fans wouldn't have the chance to be there. That's in Ireland. I like the idea of Muse doing a few small venues across the UK and then ending with a big gig in Devon or Cornwall. That would be a good 20th anniversary tour, but I daresay they're more likely gonna do a one-off gig rather than a succession of gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Smaller venues would be fine if they did multiple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanp16 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 You've lost a few respect points but at least you don't think Ireland is actually part of the UK. Unlike some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
