Muse to play Stade de France

SUPERSTAR British rock band Muse are to help Parisians celebrate the Fête de la Musique next year with a concert at the Stade de France on June 21.

The new date has been added after their three French shows this year - at Montpellier on October 16, Paris-Bercy (Oct 18) and Nantes (Oct 22) - sold out very quickly. There is also talk of a second date at the stadium in Saint-Denis.

Known for their spectacular stage shows, Matthew Bellamy and the band will be promoting their new album The 2nd Law which is released on October 1. Their song Survival, a single from the album, was the official song of the London Olympic Games.

This week a €2.7million lawsuit was lodged in Manhattan by a songwriter claiming that the band plagiarised a song for their 2009 track Exogenesis.
