I Have a THEORY

Right-here's what i'm thinking.

Muse have just announced their European tour for the album 'The Resistance'- Tickets go on sale Friday 5th June. Because i'm signed up to the Muse fan mail list i got offered tickets in advance- BUT i'm not going to be buying tickets for this tour. Because i have a theory that, if it works out, would mean i get to see Muse at their peak. and if it doesn't work out, it'll mean i have to wait another bajillion years (ok, so it's only been three years since i last saw them, but equates, gig-wise, to a bajillion) before i see them.

My theory is thus- Muse are only going to be in the UK for 5 nights of their European tour. For a band that's renowned for it's fantastic live performances, only dedicating 5 nights of a pretty massive tour (take a look if you don't believe me) seems kinda odd. That is, until you think back to 2006, when they released 'Black Holes and Revelations;

and then performed at Reading and Leeds festival.

So i reckon what they're gonna do is be at Reading and Leeds 2010- the album, 'The Resistance' is being released in a few months time, roughly September time, unlike 'Black Holes and Revelations' which was released on 3 July in 2006- Muse then went on to play Reading. Because of the lateness of the release of 'The Resistance' i suspect Muse will be playing a BIG festival next year; normally people would say Glastonbury,(although their performance at Glastonbury 2004 i should imagine holds some horrible memories for all of them, particularly Dom Howard after his dad passed away during the set) but every Muse fan knows how much they ADORED playing Reading and Leeds- after the night of the Reading gig Matt Bellamy told NME magazine that he felt like "they'd finally made it". A band who's career has been going since 1998 only felt credible after playing Reading 2006- that's how much it meant to them. And that's why i think they'll go back again.

So i'm not gonna buy a ticket for 'The Resistance' Tour- i'm gonna save my money and then place my bets on Reading or Leeds.

And even if they don't go to Reading and Leeds-It's Reading and Leeds; Like it's gonna suck to go...
