Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has revealed that they will be playing some of their earlier work live for the last time during their upcoming slots at this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The band have been announced as one of the headline acts for the festival along with My Chemical Romance and The Strokes.

Speaking about the set and what they will perform, Bellamy told NME: "It's probably the last time some of these songs will ever be played live again."

"It was on the second album (Origin of Symmetry) that things really started happening for the band, and when we focused on the live side of things much more.

"So it'll be like coming full circle: we've gone off on one a little bit, and now it feels like the right time to pull it back and remind ourselves of what we were doing 10 years ago."

The Reading and Leeds Festivals will take place from August 26 to August 28. Tickets are on sale now.
