Muse have plans for 2008

Looks as if Matthew Bellamy and the rest of Muse have a big 2008 ahead. Speaking to BBC 6Music, the Muse frontman confirmed that the band will be headlining a charity show in London and this year’s V Festival in England.

“We are doing a couple of one-offs [gigs],” he said. “For example, we’re doing the Albert Hall Teenage Cancer Trust show in April, then we’ll do the V Festival and a couple of other sort of ‘holiday’ gigs.

Muse also plans to tour Latin America and the Persian Golf in the coming months. And maybe, Virgin Festival in the U.S.?

What about Muse’s next album, you ask? Last November, drummer Dom Howard noted the band would begin writing and recording sometime in 2008.

Despite being on their world tour until November 25, Dom, frontman Matt Bellamy, 29, and bassist Chris Wolstenholme, 28, have been so inspired by their awards tally they have already started work on their next album.

Dom explained: “We’re going to start writing it properly next year but we’ve been getting lots of ideas down.

“We think it might have quite an electronic feel.

“Normally we need total time out from touring to sit down and reflect but this time round it feels different.

“We’re buzzing at the moment.”
