Victoria’s Sunday Herald-Sun reported yesterday that UK trio Muse is set to headline Big Day Out in 2010. The band has been tipped as a likely contender for the January tour, earning a spot in FasterLouder’s round-up of line-up predictions.

While the Herald Sun offered no official source for its discovery, it has been on the money before. Last year, the paper revealed Neil Young’s plan to visit Australia for shows in summer – a tour that resulted in a headline spot at Big Day Out.

Muse has had two triumphant showings on the BDO mainstage, first in 2004 and again in 2007. They swiftly returned for arena shows at the end of – œ07 before disappearing home to the studio. With new album The Resistance out 14 September, the time is certainly right for a return.

Stay tuned to FasterLouder for updates.
