Klaxons turned down Muse Wembley support slot

Klaxons say they accidentally turned down an informal offer from Muse drummer Dom Howard to support the band at Wembley Stadium, and now hope to secure a slot.

Klaxons have been talking about how they accidentally turned down the opportunity to open for Muse when they play Wembley Stadium later this year.

The band's Jamie Reynolds has told MTV that they met Muse drummer Dom Howard who told them how much he liked their gigs before suggesting they support Muse at the Wembley gig but, Jamie says, "it was quite a drunken night down the pub and I just said, 'Nah'. I don't know why, I didn't mean it! I have watched them from when they first started. I first saw them at Glastonbury and for them to say that [that they liked the Klaxons' gig] is a massive compliment".

Fellow Klaxon James Righton added: "[We] got the chance to open up Wembley stadium. Offically the first ever gig at Wembley and Jamie turned it down! We haven't turned it down officially and we're trying to sort it out. Please! We would love to play!"
