In just a few days' time, one of the biggest British rock bands will bring their massive stadium rock sound to Bristol.

Devon trio Muse, fronted by Matt Bellamy, are sure to put on a spectacular performance at Ashton Gate on Wednesday night - the third of four major concerts at the venue.

The band formed in 1994 and have since released eight studio, including Simulation Theory, which was released in November last year.

They are known for their jaw-dropping live performances and have an eye for the proposterous.
