Muse Plan UFOs for V Festival

Muse want to launch UFOs over the crowd when they headline V Festival.

The group told NME they want to spend some of their hefty fee on bringing their flamboyant stage show to the fields of Essex and Stafford.

Singer Matt Bellamy said: With V, they pay ridiculous fees, so it's a chance to spend the money on big UFOs that land on the crowd's heads!

Muse drummer Dom added: I'm looking forward to playing it immensely. We're working on the show at the moment - seeing if we can work in the big satellites we had at Wembley.

Also playing at V Festival are The Verve, Amy Winehouse, The Prodigy, Stereophonics and Kings Of Leon.

Tickets sold out within 90 minutes on Friday.

Muse play a Teenage Cancer Trust gig next month.
