First gig of the Drones Festivals Tour 2015

Information

Muse headlined the festival on May 23rd, 2015, supported by 5 Seconds of Summer, Ben Howard, Charli XCX, David Guetta, Fall Out Boy, Florence + The Machine, and The Vaccines.[2]

The gig marked the first time in nine years that Muse performed at the main stage of BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. Their last performance was in 2006, the first performance of the Black Holes and Revelations era.

On May 18th, 2020, it was announced by Muse that the recording of the performance would be one of the headliners of the 2020 virtual edition of the Big Weekend, nicknamed the "Remote Big Weekend", due to the coronavirus pandemic and the absence of festivals. Muse's performance was streamed on Sunday, May 24th, at 18:00, UK Time.[3]
