Today the support acts were announced for Muse's two Wembley gigs in June.
On the Saturday, which is when Mosh and I are going, it is Rodrigo Y Gabriela a Spanish folk rock duo who should be quite pleasant especially if it is a sunny day and The Streets, which is an interesting choice. The Streets or Mike Skinner is described as 'British hip hop'. Imagine 'gansta' chav, Arctic Monkey's-style everyman lyrics set to a monotonous hip hop beat.
The first album was raved about, the second was criticised because the lyrics had moved on to reflect Mike Skinners new status hip hop star. I'm probably being unfair but while the odd song played on the radio is quite entertaining a whole set will be tedious. And I'm not sure it will work in such a big venue. We shall see.
The Sunday show is Biffy Clyro, again haven't got the foggiest and My Chemical Romance. Revenge is sweet. Enough said.
Think the plan will be to get there early for a good spot and take a book.
