Muse fans have launched a petition for the band to play a special one-off gig in the UK to mark their 20th anniversary as a band. 

The Devonshire space-rock trio formed in Teignmouth in 1994, and have teased fans by hinting that they might have something special planned. However, recently the band have stated that this weekend's second instalment of Coachella is their last confirmed gig of the year before they head into the studio to start work on their upcoming seventh album. 

As a result of the lack of UK shows, Musers have come together to call for the band to play a special commemorative gig. See and sign the petition here

The petition reads:

"The fans would love to see Muse celebrate their 20th anniversary in style for 1 night only in the UK. Whether that be in their hometown of Teignmouth or a small venue in London. It's not every day a band can celebrate their 20 years together and while they are about to start recording their 7th album, it would be fun for both the Muse boys and their fans to play at a venue with no expensive productions involved.
"I hope this petition will find it's way to Matt, Chris and Dom and they can see how much the fans love them and just want 1 night to celebrate!"

Last year, Muse played a bizarre set packed with rareties, b-sides and old favourites at The Zepp in Tokyo, Japan, before frontman Matt Bellamy then responded by Tweeting: 

The news comes after the suggestion was aired earlier in 2014, when drummer, Dom Howard, teased fans by saying that the band, now used to stadium and headlining festivals, might play a 'little club' show in 2014.
