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".[6]
The Show
This gig marked the live debut of The Handler, and the first performances of Micro Cuts and Citizen Erased since August 2013 and December 2013 respectively. Agitated was also played despite not being on the setlist. The show also contained the last performances of New Born and Dead Star until the 2017 by-request show at London Shepherds Bush Empire.
Matt slipped over during the intro chorus of Psycho. Video can be seen here [watch]. He also smashed his Manson Matt Black 2.0 #1 guitar into his amp at the end of Reapers, which fell on the guitar because of the impact.(watch).
Fire machines were used during certain songs throughout the show, and fireworks were set off at the end of Knights of Cydonia.
