I'm still trying to figure out when the hell muse became popular in America. I think I can find more people who know blur or florence songs
So now that I've missed that train, how about we start a new one
Kasabian for Bonnaroo '17 headliner
Wait, what does Florence and the Machine have to do with Muse and Blur?
Members of the English festival headliners club... Arctic monkeys, libertines, pulp, kasabian, stone roses, verve, and the presidents of the club, Oasis (no one voted, they just assigned themselves to it)
Every Muse album from Absolution to The Resistance has gone Platinum in the United States. Even though their latest efforts haven't sold as well, they still hit the top two in the US, Drones in particular hitting #1.
The Arctic Monkeys? One gold album, and no albums within the top five in the US.
Muse has had three singles hit the top 100 and four more chart within the top 20 on the Bubbling Under Chart. They've also had 15 singles hit the US Alternative Chart.
The Monkeys? One charting single, 3 in the Bubbling Under, and four on the US Alternative chart, all but two of which were off AM.
The Monkeys are a bad comparison because they are just now hitting their stride in the States (Lolla 2014 was their first headlining gig in the US). Muse has been big in the US for as long as the Arctic Monkeys have been around.
Muse absolutely headlines.
Muse is clearly a festival headliner, on that I don't disagree.
But despite all the evidence above that clearly proves me wrong, I stand by my assertion that Merica don't know bout no Muse.
Yes, this has been covered. But that is a response to popularity, you don't headline and then become popular enough to headline because you headlined
The answer to your question is 2010 or just before 2010
I saw them in Dec. 04 they were in the process of taking over the world. 99X in Atlanta use to have a big Xmas show every year and that year they played right before Velvet Revolver and destroyed them. So I'm going to say American has known who the hell Muse is since 05.
As much as people hate U2 they'd still sell a shit ton of tickets right?
Oh for sure. Being the first US fest to book them would be a coup.
Honestly, the "playing Joshua Tree" part sounds like extra bullshit to me. If a US fest booked U2, that'd be a big enough deal without an extra gimmick.

Right. Sounds like the "Joshua Tree" part is the reason to play or celebrate an anniversary at roo. Gives the bullshit some perceived credibility. Hence Pearl Jam 30th.
Roo's producers did say in a reddit AMA a few years ago that U2 would be one of their bucket list bookings.
Of course they are, but it doesn't mean it's happening and like horn said, why would they do Joshua Tree?
30th anniversary and as a way to ensure people they'll be getting the U2 they like. So people will be like "god I hate U2" "yeah but they're doing Joshua Tree and that's a pretty good album".
Actually I'm only guessing that's one of their good albums? I don't know much about U2 but when I looked at Joshua Tree's track list I recognized a lot of it.

Tracks from the Joshua Tree are a lot their most frequently played songs. 3 songs in the top 5. 5 songs in the top ten. There's really no need to pimp it. If you had tickets to see them tonight chances are you'd hear at least 3 singles from that album.
Also, as far I'm aware they don't have a problem selling tickets. They don't really need a gimmick to let people know they are playing the hits.

So who is the leader in the clubhouse? Is Kings of Leon the most likely at this point? Weeknd? Also, Thanks for sharing that Stranger Things Christmas deal, Delicious Meatball Sub. Poor Barb.
So just pretending this U2 thing is credible, they could be playing all of Joshua Tree as a "30th anniversary", but they won't stick it on the poster next to their name.

I forgot to mention that they've never played Red Hill Mining Town live. It's the only song on that album they haven't played. It would be curious for them to all of the sudden play it every night of a tour.
If this ends up being true, I'm going to assume it will be a split set of Joshua Tree + Other songs, as Joshua Tree is only 50 minutes long.
It would probably be the same way that Brian Wilson performed Pet Sounds on his 50th anniversary tour. Some Beach Boys favorites, then the whole album, and then more hits.
I will say this a top 6 with U2 - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Kings of Leon - Chance the Rapper - The Avett Brothers - and some EDM or female act does not seem that far fetched, and I think would draw more than last year.
