Muse's Matt Bellamy has let slip that the band are set to headline this year's Bestival.
The announcement was made in possibly the least rock 'n roll way possible - during a backstage interview at The Snooker World Championships.
After discussing baby names, meeting Kanye West and his snooker talents, Bellamy was asked was next for Muse: "Getting ready for a big tour, just getting warmed up now, doing all the interviews and stuff to promote the album... We're doing Download Festival, which is like the metal festival, and Bestival in Isle of Wight later in the year, and next year we'll do our own tour obviously."
Though the announcement hasn't officially been made yet, it seems pretty unequivocal that Muse will headline the festival, which takes place at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle Of Wight.
