Muse headlined the Reading main stage on Saturday. Their alloted time was from 22:00 to 23:30 UTC+1. Muse started ~15 minutes late.

Mike Skinner (The Streets) said at the beginning of his performance "hello Glastonbury! We're Muse ... Just kidding".

A second encore was planned between Stockholm Syndrome and Take a Bow, however, as Bellamy described during the post-gig interview on BBC Radio 1, he couldn't bring himself to leave the stage.

Bellamy wore a white t shirt that said "Google Video: Terror Storm". Search for this on Google Video to watch a documentary about how some terrorist acts were inside jobs to set up more authoritarian laws such as imposing ID cards etc. The documentary was made by Alex Jones.
