Muse to play Wembley Stadium
It looks like Muse are going to be the first band to play the new Wembley.
They have announced they are playing there in June. I'm quite a big fan of Muse but not enough to pay money to see them. |
Yeah read this before on yahoo. It doesnt say they are opening the stadium just they are the first act to be booked, more to be announced in the coming weeks. I would think they would have a bigger band (globally) to open the stadium. Prob depends on whos touring at the time too. I had a feeling Take That were gonna do it their huge at the moment. Or they would save it till July 1st for this Diana concert.

Take That is still around? Are they good? What songs do they have right now that I should check out?

Muse absolutely ROCK live!! One of the best shows I've been too by far was a T on the Fringe gig in Edinburgh. Just a short set of about 10-15 songs but it was absolutely awesome and Matt Bellamy is a bloody amazing musician and frontman! The guy is just sickenengly talented!
I'd go and see them again at the drop of a hat - but I'm not travelling all the way down to London for it though!! :) |
New Bon Jovi album- April.
Muse playing Wembley- June. When is the GH supposed to be released?? It is 6 months before June and Bon Jovi are supposed to have 2 new releases in the near future, plus don't forget that they were asked FIRST if they wanted to open the stadium. I say stay tuned, there is more to happen on this yet. |
I have to say that I´m disappointed. I thought Jon´s ego would do anything to open the new Wembley so I was counting on a show next summer. Dammit!
|
i heard muse on the radio the other day and they said they will be one of the first to play there , not the first

Keep the faith, people. (Cheesy, I know, but fitting here!) |
yeah again there's still more acts to be confirmed to play it over the summer so you never know....

Seems Wembely Stadium loves to mess with people
If Muse are the first to play it, loads of people won't have bought tickets (I reckon) cause they thought someone else was gonna be announced If someone else is announced, loads of people are gonna be pissed off cos they bought tickets thinking Muse was gonna be first It's the debacle from this summer all over again ... |
Quote:
1) muse could sell out a venue that size, regardless of the prestige of the date 2) if someone was only going to buy tickets because it was the first show, then they would only be bringing the atmosphere down. 3) nowhere at all has it been stated that this is to be the first show at Wembley. 4) it would have to be a really bad night for Muse to leave fans dissapointed |
Quote:
Bon Jovi did make a big deal out of opening the new stadium, I wonder if we will hear of Muse doing a similar thing... |
Quote:
Regards your first point. Yes, that would be an incentive, but an entirely unnecessary one. And, if people buy tickets purely for that reason, i hope Take That, Barry Manillow or Shiteyshiterson announces a show for the Saturday beforehand. To call this a debacle is entirely unnecessary. Band announces show. Fans excited. End of story. |

Did you have tickets for Bon Jovi at Wembley? I wasn't disappointed, not in the slightest, but I was annoyed with the fact that the whole thing was a bit of a shambles, especially at the time where we all had no idea where they were going to play and if the tickets we'd bought would remain valid or not. That's a bit beside the point though, the point is, as Christo pointed out, it's going to leave a lot of casual fans who buy a ticket on it being the first show at Wembley very disappointed if it isnt Quote:

I dont understand why anyone would go see a band at Wembley, purely because they will be the first to play there. Its not like you get a special ticket for it or anything. Id rather wait and see a band I really wanna see there, be it Bon Jovi, u2 or Oasis. It will still be my first time seeing someone play at the new Stadium.

Yeah, but both of you are on a Bon Jovi messageboard, you're not exactly the type of person I'm talking about
OK, take me for example. I've seen Muse live twice, one of which was a part of this tour. They won't have a new album out before they play Wembley, so for all intents and purposes, it'll be the same tour. I didn't go and see them over the UK tour they just did. If they announced that they were playing at Milton Keynes Bowl or Hyde Park or whatever next year, I'd probably have a quick think about whether I wanted to go, and decide that, in the grand scheme of things, there'll probably be a million other gigs that I want to go to next year so I can't really justify going to Muse. But since it's the first gig at the new Wembley, it's just a teeny bit special and, in a way, historical. Which is why I can't decide whehter I should go or not, but am leaning more towards it than I would be if it were anywhere else |

At each stage of their career, they've made themselve accessible to the maximum possible audience before moving up a notch. Before they headlined theatres they had played countless support slots. Before moving up to arenas they'd headlined 3 or 4 theatre tours. When they moved to arenas 2 years ago, they priced their tickets at £17.50 to make sure they had the audience, and sure enough they all came back this year, and brought their frineds when tickets cost £32.00. After selling out their arena tour in more or less a single day and headlining many, many festivals, they have the audience for a Stadium show, no questions asked. How cool that one of the first bands to play the national stadium is so exemplory of the zeitguiest... If it were any other contemporary act (even one I dislike personally) I couldn't raise an objection. Quote:
Because you left it till the last minute to get rid of your ticket? Quote:

EVERY live act has its faults. Jovi rely on Cliche. Springsteen is too political. Muse are too cold and impersonal. You pays your money.... That said. Muse are in the very top flight and have nothing to prove to anyone. There is no logical reason why the first band to announce a show should be the first band to play a show. If you make that assumption it's your own stupid fault. If having made that assumption you get riled about it, then you are wasting your energy. |

Anyway, my problem isn't even with the band, its with ... I'm not even sure, the promoters? The management of the stadium itself? I just think they could have handled it better by either specifically saying or not whether this is going to be the first gig there |
Tickets are £37.50 + fees according to Muse.Mu - no mention of Gold Circle.
|
Just got an email from seetickets confirming Muse will be the first band to play there.

It is irritating that band like Muse sell out Wembley just because they are first to play there...
That honour should had been given to band like BJ or Stones... to the band who earns it. You can think it this way: If Wembey would had been ready about 2 years ago there's no way MUSE could sell it out now. But when comes to BJ there would be no problem... And if BJ is going to perform there let say in year 2009 it is no big deal anymore if they sell it out 'cause even MUSE did it... So I think it is sad... BJ is little underrated band nowdays and it would be right thing to do to let them open the stadium... I like MUSE a lot but still they aren't the right band to open... they just aren't. |

Who cares if it sells out whether its Muse, BJ, The Stones etc, the fact is it has sold out regardless and if BJ do choose to play there again and sell it out it will mean something to them. |

This year alone, Muse sold out 14 arena shows in mainland britain - at 12,000 people each this amounts to 168,000 people. Add in the crowds at the Reading and Leeds festival which they headlined and you are talking an audience of 300,000, all at sold out shows. To sell out one night at wembley, only one in four of these people would have to be prepared to return and make the journey to London. Yes, the prestige of the venue was an added attraction, but by no means a necessary one. Twickenham would have sold out just as fast. Quote:
2) Even if it were, why should the honour go to a band who are treading water and using their former glory to sell tickets. Bon Jovi peaked 10-15 years ago, the Stones peaked 30-40 years ago, Muse are peaking right now. 3) Neither Muse nor Wembley have said that this will be the first show at the venue. 4) Why do you care, anyway? Quote:
For further evidence see the fact that Muse sold out considerably faster than Bon Jovi did last year. ANY band's first show at the National stadium is a big deal. It was a big deal for Bon Jovi in 95, and would be just a big a deal for Muse if they had waited a couple of years. Quote:
