Muse performed for Reading and Leeds Festivals 2011 as headliners.[1][2] Muse had originally intended to end the Resistance tour in 2010.[9] Upon being offered to headline Leeds and Reading festivals, however, the band decided to continue touring.[9] 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.[10] Morgan Nicholls purportedly stated during the NME Awards that the band would be performing.[source?]
From the point of accepting the headline slot, the band didn't wish for the the festivals to be part of the Resistance tour.[9] After the band pondered how to differentiate the occasion, Matthew Bellamy recalled that it was the tenth anniversary of Origin of Symmetry's release, and suggested that the album be performed during the festivals.[9]
The Muse website in mid-March announced that Muse would be headlining the festivals, as a renaissance of sorts for Origin of Symmetry, including songs from across their "career[s] to date".[1] Showbiz and pre-Showbiz works of the Muse repertoire were not included within "career". Said announcement also stated that a stage different from those used on the Resistance tour would be used.
Bellamy later said on his twitter account that the band will "probably play Origin in its entirety" at the two festivals.[11] 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.[9] Wolstenholme claimed that five songs which hadn't been performed for a long time were causing the trio to worry, including Darkshines and Screenager.[9]
Two competitions were held for single pairs of tickets. The first asked for Muse t-shirt designs and the winning design was chosen by the band.[12][13][14] The second was a Muse forum popular poll for ideal Muse performance venues.[15] The former was for Reading Festival only,[12][13][14] while the latter was for either Reading or Leeds.[15]
The 'What's He Building' intro was used.
Matt played the New Born piano intro for only the second time since the start of The Resistance Tour.
The rare guitar outro for Space Dementia was played.
Chris sang the chorus to Hyper Music in place of Matt.
Eye balloons were released during Plug In Baby.
Lasers were used for Micro Cuts.
Screenager was played on the guitar, and Dark Shines was transposed a semitone down.
Flame throwers were used during Megalomania and Stockholm Syndrome.
There was a fireworks display at the end of Knights of Cydonia.

Media
BBC Three broadcast Muse's set partially, from 22:20–00:30 on the night of the performance.[30]
A fan-led coalition began on Facebook in protest against the BBC only airing 3 of the 11 songs from Origin of Symmetry.[31][32][33][34] However, the BBC claimed that Muse only permitted them to broadcast certain songs because they were not comfortable with the rare songs from Origin of Symmetry.[35]
