Information

Confirmed by Muse on their website on November 18th, 2014.

Muse were announced as the main headliner on June 13th. They performed on the main stage alongside acts such as Faith No More, A Day to Remember and Parkway Drive.

In an interview with NME, Muse suggested that they'll play rare tracks and heavier material at this gig. Chris said that the group would use the festival "as an opportunity to get away with playing some deeper cuts and heavier stuff".

This gig marked the premiere of The Handler. This was also the first performance of Micro Cuts since 2013, and the first performance of Citizen Erased since 2013. Agitated was played despite not being on the printed setlist. Last performance of New Born and Dead Star until the 2017 by-request show at London Shepherds Bush Empire.

Fire machines were used at certain songs through the course of the gig.

Matt slipped during the intro chorus of Psycho. Video can be seen here [watch]. He also smashed his Manson Matt Black 2.0 #1 guitar at the end of Reapers, when he threw it into the amp, wich fell on the guitar because of the impact. (watch).
