Muse shall be performing for Reading and Leeds Festivals 2011 as headliners.[1][2] Muse had originally intended to end the Resistance tour in 2010.[4] Upon being offered to headline Leeds and Reading festivals, however, the band decided to continue touring.[4] 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.[5] 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.[4] 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.[4]
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".[2] Whether pre-Showbiz works of the Muse repertoire are included within "career" remains to be seen. 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.[6] 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.[4] Wolstenholme claimed that five songs which hadn't been performed for a long time were causing the trio to worry, including Darkshines and Screenager.[4]
A competition for a single pair of tickets, either to Leeds or Reading, was held. The competition comprised a Muse forum popular vote for a Muse concert venue.[7]
