Muse to play Devonshire homecoming gigs?

Muse are attempting to organise two homecoming shows in Devon, according to NME.

The Black Holes & Revelations rockers are strongly rumoured to be returning to Teignmouth, the town where they originally formed, to play the local Den venue on September 4 and 5.

Southdevon.co.uk reports that "secret talks" are under way to bring Muse back to their hometown.

Concert organisers SJM have reportedly applied to Teignbridge Council for a licence to hold a "music concert". The capacity for each gig is believed to be 10,000, while local residents are expected to receive priority tickets.

However, Teignmouth councillor Terry Falcão refused to confirm any plans, telling the paper: "I cannot discuss any proposals that may or may not have been made."

Muse, who have recently been announced to perform at this year's MTV VMA awards, are also preparing to release new album The Resistance on September 14.
