Information
Confirmed on November 30th, 2016, Muse were headlining Reading and Leeds between August 25th and August 27th, 2017. It was later confirmed on February 24th, 2017 that they will headline Reading on August 27th.[5]
The R&L website was confirming that Muse was an European exclusive, meaning that it was their only 2017 European festival appearance, although this turned out to be false when it was confirmed that Muse were headlining Belfast Vital.
The Show
At the start of the encore, AC/DC singer Brian Johnson was invited onstage stage to sing Back in Black. This marked the first time the band played the song since 2010, when Nic Cester of Jet performed lead vocals. After 'Showbiz' Matt briefly played the riff to 'Breed' by Nirvana.
Actors John Bradley West and Isaac Hempstead Wright (known for portraying Samwell Tarly and Bran Stark in the TV series Game of Thrones) were present at the gig.
