Origin of Glastonbury: Muse reflects on 25th anniversary of first performance at UK festival
Muse first played Glastonbury in 1999, and 25 years later, the band is reflecting on their many years at the famed English festival.
In an Instagram post, Matt Bellamy and company have shared a video compiling footage from their past Glastonbury performances.
“25 years ago we played our first @glastofest in the New Band’s Tent,” the caption reads. “Take a look back at a few of our favorite moments.”
After 1999, Muse played Glastonbury again in 2000, 2004, 2010 and 2016. Their last three performances were all headlining sets on the main Pyramid Stage.
By the way, the New Bands Tent at Glastonbury 1999 also featured a then up-and-coming Coldplay, who were actually billed below Muse on the lineup poster. Coldplay is headlining Glastonbury 2024, and their set on Saturday will stream live via BBC.com.
