Muse to headline Leeds 2011 (rumour)

Leeds Festival fan sites are reporting that Muse may headline Leeds 2011.

The plethora of Leeds Festival fan sites went into overdrive this week with the rumour that Muse may be headlining Leeds 2011.

It’s a possibility that we posted at the beginning of January as it will have been five years since they last appeared in 2006.

Other recent rumours include Green Day, The Strokes, My Chemical Romance and Pulp, with The Smiths an outside possibility after their comments in late 2010 about a reunion this year.

The official lineup will be announced in a couple of months.

In the meantime, please let us know what you think of the possibility of Muse headlining below or leave your rumours on our Leeds 2011 line-up rumours page.

  4. Steeve says:

    not assed about muse, saw them at T in the park, they were amazing but ceeb, gonna see strokes at oxegen so not bothered, the world would be a better place if MCR were currently touring in a Libyan tank…in Libya, and if the smiths go i am going to go just so i can shit in my hands and throw it at them because they are just awful!
    thankyou :)
    btw the national and interpol will be there and i cant wait for them :D

  5. oli j k says:

    sonisphere wont be beaten… and led zepplin are a very very good band (live aid :S)… but if muse are the next big thing then tough… are YOU guna change the world???

  6. Craigiboy says:

    Muse are whiny crap! And I pity all you kids that have nothing else out there today, to honestly think there ground breaking and cutting edge you have to be very naive very stupid or very young! There average at best. Wake up call time kids! Do some research go out and buy or download a Led Zep album or two it’ll change your life! Ps. Sonisphere will NOT be beaten this year!

  7. Debs says:

    Muse would be ok I’ve not seen them yet. Much prefer MCR! Senn them twice in last five month and can’t get enough of them. The energy they bring to a stage is awesome !

  8. funnydunny says:

    anyone who dont like muse , know nowt about music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Will Flynn says:

    Muse are the best British band around atm and one of the best bands of our generation. Would love to see them this year!

  10. \m/ says:

    Muse aren’t a festival band? no because they haven’t headlined major festivals for the past 8 year or so… they’re one of the best if not the best live act around today, Sonisphere is where it’s at, I’ve already seen them countlimes times though so I’m not too fussed about going, Sonisphere is where it’s at this year! The Big 4 alone is enough to decimate every UK festival lineup announced so far, let alone the rest of the bands that are playing Sonisphere, not taking a dig at leeds though, I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve been there.

  11. Dale says:

    How can anyone say Muse are not a festival band?
    You my friend are sadly deluded as if any band was ever a festival band it’s Muse!!!
    Roll on them headlining the main stage this year wooooo!!!!!!

  19. Thomas Little says:

    Fucking hate muse.

  20. Dolskii says:

    Id love it if muse headlined!
    If its anything like glasto or even the last reading and leeds it will be awesome.
    easily the best live act around at the moment. :D

  21. josh says:

    Muse are meant to be amazing live, better than any act who headlined last year

  22. JoeTully says:

    Muse – Time Is Running Out Live @ Glastonbury 2010

    Amazing….

  23. JoeTully says:

    Muse not a festival band? Did you not see Glasto 2010?
    Was possibly the best festival act i have ever witnessed!!!
    All entitlesd to our opinions… but lets not get silly, eh?
    @james oakly… im actually worried that if muse headline i wont be able to get a ticket because of how fast they will sell out!!!

    Muse <3

  24. jordan taylor says:

    muse are the biggest pile of shit i have ever heard, if they headline leeds im most certainly gonna consider not going, they’re just simply abysmal…..

  25. Will says:

    Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssseeeeeeeeee XD would be awesome

  26. EmsaBellamy says:

    OMG YES MUSE!!!!!! LOVE YA MUSE!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!! <3 <3 <3 xxxxxxxxxxxx

  27. common sense says:

    The Strokes have all of their tour dates booked up except for the Leeds/Reading weekend, suggesting that they’re very very likely to play.

    And The Smiths omg <3

  28. Holly Dill says:

    Definitely not going again this year if that’s the line up, Muse arent a festival band and Green Day have just lost it over recent years and My Chemical Romance?

  29. kristi says:

    i hope muse don’t play there new stuff is absolutely terrible. if the strokes/the smiths play it will be a dream though.

  30. Liam L says:

    Muse our talented musicians, but i feel that their music is poor i cant bear listening to it, i would be quite dissapointed if muse did headline.

  31. james oakley says:

    Well if you do get muse to play, Ticket sales will sell rapidly.
    I would love to see them, and so will many more fans in the UK :D

  32. liam graves says:
