A battle of the bands competition in Torquay. Muse were third to perform[1] and did not win.[source?]

Knowledge of the gig resurfaced when Mike Dunn of Exeter started uploading videos thereof to YouTube, on the 14th April 2009.

There were 250 people present, which is the capacity limit, as well as many people outside listening through the windows.[source?]

Matthew Bellamy stated before playing that they will play five songs, although only four were played in full, with an outro on "Who Knows, Who Cares". The songs "Who Knows, Who Cares", "Cut Me Down", "Emotion Coming" were unknown at the time videos of the gig resurfaced, although "Weakening Walls" had been mentioned previously by Bellamy in an interview. According to Niall, Sam Sparrow showed the video of the gig to Chris Wolstenholme and asked about of names of the songs, which he still remembered.[2]
