I go to a fair amount of gigs and concerts and I see a lot of acts, both good and bad, who can’t or don’t turn their music into a show. For the most part that’s a perfectly fine thing; some music simply doesn’t lend itself to showmanship. Some acts, however, play around with the visual and make the show as much a part of the music as the music is a part of the show. At the moment, in this respect, there is no act finer than Muse.

I’ve been to a few festivals in my time. From the small-scale such as Wakestock up to the large-scale such as Reading they’re all pretty much the same. You have a campsite or two where people can try to sleep, a few places for bands to play music and you have a few eating establishments where people can obtain vague nutrition and contract diseases. As you scale up, all you get is more of the same. But not with Glastonbury. It’s a very different kettle of fish, and I shall attempt to explain why.
