Information

This is one of Muse’s more well known performances from their early days. Matt was very hyper during this gig. The performance featured several crazy screams and antics throughout.

Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Beck, Blink-182, Placebo, and Coldplay were also present at the festival. Chris Martin (Coldplay’s frontman) can be seen congratulating Muse as they come off stage after finishing their set. This era is remembered fondly by older fans of both Muse and Coldplay, since the two bands supported each other frequently in their early days.

The Show

This gig marked the debut of Bliss. According to Bellamy, the intro of Bliss, played on the keyboard, sounded like the sound from an old Game Boy game. Bliss was known on the setlist as "New New 1".

Unintended was on the setlist but was not played. There were guitar problems in the middle of Fillip, which Bellamy quickly avoided by making abnormal noises into the microphone.

Plug In Baby featured a much faster intro. Bellamy finished off the performance by throwing the microphone and jumping into the drum set.
