Muse shall be performing for Reading and Leeds Festivals 2011 as headliners.[1][2] The first substantive rumours of Muse appearing at the festivals began in January with VirtualFestivals including Muse among its headliner predictions, while implicitly claiming inside knowledge.[6] Morgan Nicholls purportedly stated during the NME Awards that the band would be performing.[source?]

The Muse website in mid-March announced that Muse would be headlining the festivals, as a 10-year-anniversary renaissance of sorts for Origin of Symmetry, including songs from across their "career[s] to date".[1] Whether pre-Showbiz works of the Muse repertoire are included within "career" remains to be seen. The band also announced in said statement that an exclusive stage production will be in use for the Reading and Leeds Festival 2011.

Matthew Bellamy later said on his twitter account that the band will "probably play Origin in its entirety" at the two festivals. In mid-August Christopher Wolstenholme confirmed that the entire album would be performed, while the band's intention was for it to be performed in order.[7] Wolstenholme claimed that five songs which hadn't been performed for a long time were causing the trio to worry, including Darkshines and Screenager.[7]
