Glastonbury always pulls out massive headliners, and 2010 is no exception. This year’s line-up could even go down in history as the greatest of all time.

The three headliners for the Glastonbury Festival have now been confirmed. U2 will close Friday night, Muse will end Saturday night, and the whole thing will be finished off on Sunday night by the legend that is Stevie Wonder.
U2 were confirmed a while ago, but Muse and Stevie Wonder were just rumors until now.
Unfortunately for anyone who wants to attend the festival on the strength of the headline acts alone, Glastonbury is already sold out. …read more

U2 have been confirmed to be headlining Glastonbury 2010. It will be the Irish band’s first appearance at the long-running festival.

Muse are a brilliant, life-affirming, innovative, forward-thinking British band. Glenn Beck is an uninspiring, morbid, doom-mongering, backwards-thinking American commentator. So hardly a match made in Heaven. You would think. But Glenn Beck recently came out as a fan of Muse and their new album, The Resistance. Not that Muse were very happy about his endorsement.

On his September 16 radio show, Glenn Beck spent a couple of minutes waxing lyrical about Muse and The Resistance. He drew comparisons between the lyrics and the novel 1984, which actually isn’t a bad comparison to make. But he didn’t stop there.

A quick look at the Muse category would tell you just quite how big a fan of the band I am. And it’s not just me that thinks so, with their popularity growing both in the UK and beyond. In fact, Muse’s new album, The Resistance, is selling well around the world and proving the band are ready to become as big a phenomenon worldwide as they already are in Europe.

Muse have been with us since 1994, having been founded in their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon that year. And they’ve enjoyed mild success in the UK ever since the release …read more
