You can say what you like about Muse – a band that is breaking records this June, opening Glastonbury weekend’s first of three Pyramid stage headline slots for the third time in their lifespan. Say what you like about their pomposity, their conspiracy theories, their Queen-meets-progrock-meets-Schostakovich schtick: Muse are the first act to headline all three nights of Glastonbury over their career. More important than that, Muse, from Teignmouth in Devon (which is not that far from Glastonbury, respectively speaking) is the only band – really – that had the guile and audacity to soundtrack the apocalypse that was Friday, June 24, 2016.
